One bit of good news - I confirmed (by modifying test-vsnprintf, then
testing on mingw64, where the gnulib replacement _does_ kick in) that
gnulib's vsnprintf replacement supports %1$d out of the box without any
further m4 tests, and without having to drag in the vsnprintf-posix
module.  So at this point, the patch for mingw is as simple as ensuring
that the gnulib snprintf replacement always kicks in.  Proposed patch
coming up soon.
