HTParse:  Parse a URL relative to another URL

   from the related name where necessary.

  aName                   A filename given

  relatedName             A name relative to which aName is to be parsed

  wanted                  A mask for the bits which are wanted.

  ON EXIT,

  returns                 A pointer to a malloc'd string which MUST BE FREED

HTStrip: Strip white space off a string

HTSimplify: Simplify a UTL

   A URL is allowed to contain the seqeunce xxx/../ which may be replaced by "" , and the
   seqeunce "/./" which may be replaced by "/". Simplification helps us recognize
   duplicate filenames. It doesn't deal with soft links, though. The new (shorter)
   filename overwrites the old.

HTRelative:  Make Relative (Partial) URL

   to relatedName, will yield aName. The caller is responsible for freeing the resulting
