FindName -- find a system list node with a given name
node = FindName(start, name)

struct Node *FindName(struct List *, STRPTR);
Traverse a system list until a node with the given name is found.
To find multiple occurrences of a string, this function may be
called with a node starting point.
No arbitration is done for access to the list! If multiple tasks
access the same list, an arbitration mechanism such as
SignalSemaphores must be used.
start - a list header or a list node to start the search
(if node, this one is skipped)
name - a pointer to a name string terminated with NULL
node - a pointer to the node with the same name else
zero to indicate that the string was not found.
