String variable expansion routine wanted

[Alexander Pohoyda]

Hi folks,

Is there a C-function that does string variable expansion like this:

    "some text $(VARIABLE) text" --> "some text VALUE text"

I suppose this functionality is useful for many programs, so I'm
looking for a simpe library to link with.

Please CC me on reply.  Thanks a lot!
