/* This function is called by some lookups that create name=value result
strings, to handle the quoting of the data. It adds "name=" to the result,
followed by appropriately quoted data, followed by a single space.

Arguments:
  name           the field name
  value          the data value
  vlength        the data length
  result         the result expanding-string

Returns:         the result pointer (possibly updated)
