The only thing that uses realloc() in the plugin (and it really should not
in the first place) is the bit that Does Stuff to argument parsing, which
has changed from necessairy to superfluous with moving away from
libvlc_playlist_*.

Changing is probably less hard than it looks if you look at the input and
output requirements, ignoring the middle. Some architectural changes will
be needed, though.

I can't look at it now so patches are welcome.
