 * rgerhards, 2007-09-04: I have changed the interface of this function. It now
 * returns an rsRetVal, so that we can communicate back if we have an error.
 * Using the standard method is much better than returning NULL. Secondly, NULL
 * was not actually an error - it was in indication if the string was empty.
 * This was needed in some parts of the code, in others not. I have now added
 * a second parameter to specify what the caller needs. I hope these changes
 * will make it less likely that the function is called incorrectly, what
 * previously happend quite often and was the cause of a number of program
 * aborts. So the parameters are now:
 * pointer to the object, pointer to string-pointer to receive string and
 * bRetNULL: 0 - must not return NULL on empty string, return "" in that
 * case, 1 - return NULL instead of an empty string.
 * PLEASE NOTE: the caller must free the memory returned in ppSz in any case
 * (except, of course, if it is NULL).

 * to the first index that is to be compared. It must not be
 * set higher than the string length (this is considered a
 * program bug and will lead to unpredictable results and program aborts).
