Re: multiple definitions of __printf__

This fixes the build in the case where both libintl and PSPP's
Gnulib define __printf__.  But it broke the build in the
previously working case where libintl did not define __printf__
but PSPP's Gnulib did and no longer does.  This is the case on,
for example, FreeBSD 7.3 and, according to reports on pspp-dev,
OpenSUSE as well.

Is the best solution to check whether libintl defines __printf__
and, if so, avoid defining it in Gnulib?

Thanks,

Ben.
