Oops, this leads to compilation errors in C++ mode on platforms that don't have
vfscanf() or vscanf(). Ultimately we should have a replacement for these
functions, but it's low priority for me. So let me move it to separate
modules only.


2011-04-30  Bruno Haible  <address@hidden>

        New modules 'vfscanf', 'vscanf'.
        * modules/vfscanf: New file.
        * modules/vscanf: New file.
        * m4/stdio_h.m4 (gl_STDIO_H): Don't set GNULIB_VFSCANF, GNULIB_VSCANF
        here.
        * doc/posix-functions/vfscanf.texi: Mention module 'vfscanf'.
        * doc/posix-functions/vscanf.texi: Mention module 'vscanf'.
