Cool hack!

Agreed with your reasoning and choice of implementation to do the
replacement at test run rather than configure time.  However,

We should not be using realloc in this file, but should be using
VIR_RESIZE_N or similar.

This must be memmove,

But this would be more efficient as memcpy, since replacement (better
not) overlap with token_start.

No need to downsize the allocation - it's okay to leave junk in the tail
end of the buffer, as long as we have a trailing NUL to stop us in time.
