magnus: Hmm, how large does that get? Looking at
'client_mysql_real_connect' we use "NAME_LEN+USER_NAME_LENGTH+100" and
maybe that is actually enough? Isn't the +100 supposed to take care of
allocating some extra space for "password and stuff" ;)

Please think a little more about size of this buffer. Maybe we should
reserve the proper size for "db" that we also put in there? Then we can
probably skip the +100 "magic constant".

magnus:        ^ space between = and buff

magnus:     "strmake() returns pointer to closing null" according to
comment in strings/strmake.c - I guess you could skip the strend call as
you do in the next call to 'strmake'

magnus: Maybe add a test that checks the function succeeds when using
the max allowed value of user, password and db?
