/*
 *	getargs  -  this routine will generate a vector of
 *	pointers (arps) to the substrings in string "s".
 *	Each substring is separated by blanks and/or tabs.
 *
 *	If FANCYARGS is defined, you get the following:
 *	Strings containing blanks may be specified by quoting,
 *	in a manner similar to using the shell.
 *	Control characters are entered by ^X where X is any
 *	character; ^? gets you a rubout and ^^ is a real ^.
 *	Warning (rti!trt): I doubt FANCYARGS is wise, since getargs
 *	is used all over the place.  Its features may be useful
 *	but a separate fancy_getargs() should be called instead.
 *
 *	return - the number of subfields, or -1 if >= maxargs.
