While trying to rewrite webmirror.nasl, I ran into a strange bug. I
suspect that some REGEX librairies limit the size of the found
substrings.
Anyway, we probably need something like strstr() (it should return an
index) or maybe a simple "str_remove" function that will do what the
"-" operator does.

OK.

Note that the problem with "pure"/"impure" only exists with string()
and display()
strcat does the same job as string, but does not interpret its
arguments.
