Agreed.  However, I'm sorry to say that you might have to restart part 
of your work.  I've checked in into the libsnprintfv repository on 
savannah a merge of my work and Bruce's, except for the && || mismatch 
that I have not had the time to understand.  It passes the testsuite 
except for floating-point printing.

Still, as I said I fully agreed -- in fact my first step would have been 
to gnulib-ize snprintfv itself.

I added you to the group to give you commit rights, 
https://savannah.nongnu.org/cvs/?group=libsnprintfv has the instructions 
for checking out the project.  Is it ok if we use address@hidden, 
for the time being, to host patches to libsnprintfv?  Creating a new 
mailing list would be pretty useless since it's hopefully going to be 
absorbed in few weeks.
