I take that back. I can always use g_strsplit() on the GString contents.
On further consideration, I suppose that your GList contains GStrings,
not gchar pointers. Still not certain that g_string_split() is the best
name. And not certain that GList is the best container for the returned
data. Do you really not mind 24 bytes of overhead for every returned
token? (12 bytes for GList + 12 bytes for GString)

I do not take this back.
