Thanks for pointing out the limitation of my procedure. Yep, option
value can't contain comma and '='.
But, if caller have an array of string pointers, then IMO he is at a
single step from having it split by option name and value, so passing
it to some librarian helper function seems having little sense.
The only idea i have on extending capability of this function is
support of escaping comma and = with backslash.
