returning a string from a primitive

Hello,
I am currently struggling to return a string from a virtual machine  
primitive. The only example derived from SmarySyntaxInterpreterPlugin  
I was able to find in the Squeak sources is in the  
InternetConfigPlugin (in primitiveGetStringKeyedBy:). This Plugin  
instantiates a new string object and explicitly iterates over the  
string to copy it to squeak. Isn't there a more elegant way to return  
a string from a c function?

cheers
Diman
