strchr is slightly more efficient than hand-rolling this loop.

More importantly, you had a logic bug, where you replaced one hard-coded 
instance of "\\'", but not the other (the strcspn optimization).  Also, 
I tend to use "'" instead of "\'", although both work, since I favor 
concise code (I save my ramblings for my emails :).

I added you to AUTHORS, squashed this in, then pushed.
