 * Deleting item
 *
 * Have to chase down list to find item.
 *
 * Note that p_this:
 *
 *   * starts as pointer to the base pointer, so should really be void**,
 *     but that causes all sorts of problems with strict-aliasing.
 *
 *     So: have to cast to (void**) before dereferencing to get the address
 *         of the first item on the list.
 *
 *   * as steps along the list p_this points to the "next pointer" in the
 *     previous item.
 *
 *     The _sl_p_next() macro adds the offset of the "next pointer" to the
 *     address of the this item.
 *
 *   * at the end, assigns the item's "next pointer" to the "next pointer"
 *     field pointed at by p_this.
 *
 *     Note again the cast to (void**).
 *
 * Returns: 0 => OK -- removed item from list (OR item == NULL)
 *         -1 => item not found on list
