The way I fixed the problem was to add a set of function prototypes
and #defines surrounded by an #ifdef HAVE___SNPRINTF in defines.h
and to #define HAVE_SNPRINTF, HAVE_VSNPRINTF and HAVE___SNPRINTF.
No code outside of defines.h and a single define in config.h
is all that's needed.

I understand your pain.  I tried to make the fix as elegant as
possible.
