+ * Original:
+ * Patrick Powell Tue Apr 11 09:48:21 PDT 1995
+ * A bombproof version of doprnt (dopr) included.
+ * Sigh.  This sort of thing is always nasty do deal with.  Note that
+ * the version here does not include floating point...
+ *
+ * snprintf() is used instead of sprintf() as it does limit checks
+ * for string length.  This covers a nasty loophole.
+ *
+ * The other functions are there to prevent NULL pointers from
+ * causing nast effects.
+ *
+ * More Recently:
+ *  Brandon Long <blong@fiction.net> 9/15/96 for mutt 0.43
+ *  This was ugly.  It is still ugly.  I opted out of floating point
+ *  numbers, but the formatter understands just about everything
+ *  from the normal C string format, at least as far as I can tell from
+ *  the Solaris 2.5 printf(3S) man page.
+ *
+ *  Brandon Long <blong@fiction.net> 10/22/97 for mutt 0.87.1
+ *    Ok, added some minimal floating point support, which means this
+ *    probably requires libm on most operating systems.  Don't yet
+ *    support the exponent (e,E) and sigfig (g,G).  Also, fmtint()
+ *    was pretty badly broken, it just wasn't being exercised in ways
+ *    which showed it, so that's been fixed.  Also, formated the code
+ *    to mutt conventions, and removed dead code left over from the
+ *    original.  Also, there is now a builtin-test, just compile with:
+ *           gcc -DTEST_SNPRINTF -o snprintf snprintf.c -lm
+ *    and run snprintf for results.
+ * 
+ *  Thomas Roessler <roessler@guug.de> 01/27/98 for mutt 0.89i
+ *    The PGP code was using unsigned hexadecimal formats. 
+ *    Unfortunately, unsigned formats simply didn't work.
+ *
+ *  Michael Elkins <me@cs.hmc.edu> 03/05/98 for mutt 0.90.8
+ *    The original code assumed that both snprintf() and vsnprintf() were
+ *    missing.  Some systems only have snprintf() but not vsnprintf(), so
+ *    the code is now broken down under HAVE_SNPRINTF and HAVE_VSNPRINTF.
+ *
+ *  Chris Frey <cdfrey@foursquare.net> 2012/09/05
+ *    Removed varargs.h and all dependency on it.
