If the hardcoded 4096 is used for a path buffer, then it should
definitely get changed to PATH_MAX. Other arbitrary buffers should get
a define that is appropriate for their buffers. 4096 is a fine number,
but a define would make it easier to change and allow us to document
why the buffer is that size. Even something like:

/* Need an arbitrary buffer size big enough to hold strings we're building */
#define BIG_BUFFER_SIZE 4096

But in most cases something describing the reasoning behind the
specific size would be better.
