* change do_conversion() to return a char *argv[] instead of char *cmd.
tokenisation of the command is done internally.
* change retrieve() to take char *argv[] instead of char *cmd.

* use fparseln() instead of fgetln()
* store conversions in listed order (rather than reverse order)
* use stringlists instead of handrolling code to manage an argv.
