That is used by my loop to iterate through the list.  It is unnecessary if
the data pointers don't need to be freed.  g_list_next returns a pointer
to the next element of the linked list, and I need a temporary place to
store it (modifying variables_list_items would mean g_list_free didn't
work, AFAIK).
