Thanks, it will make my task easier in the future.

I'd prefer if you could use the appended additional patch on top of yours.
It changes two things:
  - Take the localcharset module from intl/ not lib/ (they are identical
    though).
  - Add a comment about the wrong-looking (but currently correct)
    vasprintf.h.

This is confusing me too, but it is correct. The module 'vasprintf'
is specified to provide the function if and only if the system has
no vasprintf(). Whereas libasprintf/vasprintf.h deals with the case
of a vasprintf() function that exists but is not POSIX compliant...
