* _DtQualifyWithFirst
*
* takes: an unqualified filename like foo.txt, and
* a colon-separated list of pathnames, such as
* /etc/dt:/usr/dt/config
*
* returns: a fully qualified filename. Space for the filename
* has been allocated off the heap using malloc. It is
* the responsibility of the calling function to dispose
* of the space using free.
*
* example: ...
* char * filename;
* ...
* filename = _DtQualifyWithFirst("configFile",
* "/foo/first/location:/foo/second/choice");
* < use filename >
* free(filename);
