There is a simple expansible-string module in the backend already;
see backend/lib/stringinfo.c.  It could use some improvements but
I'd suggest enhancing it rather than making another one.

There is no --enable-debug switch.  You have to turn on debug by
modifying the CFLAGS line in the template file for your system.
(Hmm, now that you mention it, --enable-debug would be a cleaner
solution than keeping a locally modified template file, which is
what I currently do and most of the other developers probably do
also ... another to-do item ...)
