API change! rc_strlist_add and friends now take char *** instead of

char ** and return a pointer to the item added instead of the new
list head. This is so we can easily tell if the item was successfully
added or not instead of iterating through the list looking for it.

list = rc_strlist_add (list, item);
becomes
rc_strlist_add (&list, item);
