+                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+                       Version 2, June 1991
+
+ Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
+ 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+                            Preamble
+
+  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
+freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
+License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
+software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
+General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
+using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
+the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
+you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
+source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
+rights.
+
+  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+distribute and/or modify the software.
+
+  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
+software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
+authors' reputations.
+
+  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
+patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
+program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
+patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
+under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
+refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
+means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
+that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
+either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
+language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
+the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+
+  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
+source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
+conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
+copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
+notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
+along with the Program.
+
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+
+  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
+    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
+    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
+    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
+    parties under the terms of this License.
+
+    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
+    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
+    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
+    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
+    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
+    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
+    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
+    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
+    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
+    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
+
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+collective works based on the Program.
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
+the scope of this License.
+
+  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
+    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
+    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
+    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
+    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
+    customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
+    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
+    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
+    received the program in object code or executable form with such
+    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
+
+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
+control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
+special exception, the source code distributed need not include
+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
+itself accompanies the executable.
+
+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+
+  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
+except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
+parties remain in full compliance.
+
+  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
+the Program or works based on it.
+
+  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
+these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
+this License.
+
+  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
+may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
+
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
+apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
+circumstances.
+
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
+implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
+impose that choice.
+
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+
+  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
+those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
+countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
+
+  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
+of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
+later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
+either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
+Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
+this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
+Foundation.
+
+  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
+to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
+make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
+
+                            NO WARRANTY
+
+  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
+FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
+OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
+PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
+OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
+MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
+TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
+PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
+REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
+REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
+INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
+OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
+TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
+YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
+PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+
+    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
+    (at your option) any later version.
+
+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
+    GNU General Public License for more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
+    with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
+    51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
+when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
+    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
+parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
+be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
+mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
+
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
+school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
+necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
+
+  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
+  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
+
+  <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
+  Ty Coon, President of Vice
+
+This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
+proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
+consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
+library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
+Public License instead of this License.

+   The LONG_OPTIONS argument to getopt_long or getopt_long_only is a vector
+   of `struct option' terminated by an element containing a name which is
+   zero.
+
+   The field `has_arg' is:
+   no_argument		(or 0) if the option does not take an argument,
+   required_argument	(or 1) if the option requires an argument,
+   optional_argument 	(or 2) if the option takes an optional argument.
+
+   If the field `flag' is not NULL, it points to a variable that is set
+   to the value given in the field `val' when the option is found, but
+   left unchanged if the option is not found.
+
+   To have a long-named option do something other than set an `int' to
+   a compiled-in constant, such as set a value from `optarg', set the
+   option's `flag' field to zero and its `val' field to a nonzero
+   value (the equivalent single-letter option character, if there is
+   one).  For long options that have a zero `flag' field, `getopt'
+   returns the contents of the `val' field.  */

+   there are no more options.  For unrecognized options, or options
+   missing arguments, `optopt' is set to the option letter, and '?' is
+   returned.
+
+   The OPTS string is a list of characters which are recognized option
+   letters, optionally followed by colons, specifying that that letter
+   takes an argument, to be placed in `optarg'.
+
+   If a letter in OPTS is followed by two colons, its argument is
+   optional.  This behavior is specific to the GNU `getopt'.
+
+   The argument `--' causes premature termination of argument
+   scanning, explicitly telling `getopt' that there are no more
+   options.

+ *
+ *   You should have received a copy of the Frontier Artistic License
+ *   with this Kit in the file named LICENSE.txt .
+ *   If not, I'll be glad to provide one.
+ *
+ * FEATURES
+ * - careful adherence to specs regarding flags, field width and precision;
+ * - good performance for large string handling (large format, large
+ *   argument or large paddings). Performance is similar to system's sprintf
+ *   and in several cases significantly better (make sure you compile with
+ *   optimizations turned on, tell the compiler the code is strict ANSI
+ *   if necessary to give it more freedom for optimizations);
+ * - return value semantics per ISO/IEC 9899:1999 ("ISO C99");
+ * - written in standard ISO/ANSI C - requires an ANSI C compiler.
+ *
+ * SUPPORTED CONVERSION SPECIFIERS AND DATA TYPES
+ *
+ * This snprintf only supports the following conversion specifiers:
+ * s, c, d, u, o, x, X, p  (and synonyms: i, D, U, O - see below)
+ * with flags: '-', '+', ' ', '0' and '#'.
+ * An asterisk is supported for field width as well as precision.
+ *
+ * Length modifiers 'h' (short int), 'l' (long int),
+ * and 'll' (long long int) are supported.
+ * NOTE:
+ *   If macro SNPRINTF_LONGLONG_SUPPORT is not defined (default) the
+ *   length modifier 'll' is recognized but treated the same as 'l',
+ *   which may cause argument value truncation! Defining
+ *   SNPRINTF_LONGLONG_SUPPORT requires that your system's sprintf also
+ *   handles length modifier 'll'.  long long int is a language extension
+ *   which may not be portable.
+ *
+ * Conversion of numeric data (conversion specifiers d, u, o, x, X, p)
+ * with length modifiers (none or h, l, ll) is left to the system routine
+ * sprintf, but all handling of flags, field width and precision as well as
+ * c and s conversions is done very carefully by this portable routine.
+ * If a string precision (truncation) is specified (e.g. %.8s) it is
+ * guaranteed the string beyond the specified precision will not be referenced.
+ *
+ * Length modifiers h, l and ll are ignored for c and s conversions (data
+ * types wint_t and wchar_t are not supported).
+ *
+ * The following common synonyms for conversion characters are supported:
+ *   - i is a synonym for d
+ *   - D is a synonym for ld, explicit length modifiers are ignored
+ *   - U is a synonym for lu, explicit length modifiers are ignored
+ *   - O is a synonym for lo, explicit length modifiers are ignored
+ * The D, O and U conversion characters are nonstandard, they are supported
+ * for backward compatibility only, and should not be used for new code.
+ *
+ * The following is specifically NOT supported:
+ *   - flag ' (thousands' grouping character) is recognized but ignored
+ *   - numeric conversion specifiers: f, e, E, g, G and synonym F,
+ *     as well as the new a and A conversion specifiers
+ *   - length modifier 'L' (long double) and 'q' (quad - use 'll' instead)
+ *   - wide character/string conversions: lc, ls, and nonstandard
+ *     synonyms C and S
+ *   - writeback of converted string length: conversion character n
+ *   - the n$ specification for direct reference to n-th argument
+ *   - locales
+ *
+ * It is permitted for str_m to be zero, and it is permitted to specify NULL
+ * pointer for resulting string argument if str_m is zero (as per ISO C99).
+ *
+ * The return value is the number of characters which would be generated
+ * for the given input, excluding the trailing null. If this value
+ * is greater or equal to str_m, not all characters from the result
+ * have been stored in str, output bytes beyond the (str_m-1) -th character
+ * are discarded. If str_m is greater than zero it is guaranteed
+ * the resulting string will be null-terminated.
+ *
+ * NOTE that this matches the ISO C99, OpenBSD, and GNU C library 2.1,
+ * but is different from some older and vendor implementations,
+ * and is also different from XPG, XSH5, SUSv2 specifications.
+ * For historical discussion on changes in the semantics and standards
+ * of snprintf see printf(3) man page in the Linux programmers manual.
+ *
+ * Routines asprintf and vasprintf return a pointer (in the ptr argument)
+ * to a buffer sufficiently large to hold the resulting string. This pointer
+ * should be passed to free(3) to release the allocated storage when it is
+ * no longer needed. If sufficient space cannot be allocated, these functions
+ * will return -1 and set ptr to be a NULL pointer. These two routines are a
+ * GNU C library extensions (glibc).
+ *
+ * Routines asnprintf and vasnprintf are similar to asprintf and vasprintf,
+ * yet, like snprintf and vsnprintf counterparts, will write at most str_m-1
+ * characters into the allocated output string, the last character in the
+ * allocated buffer then gets the terminating null. If the formatted string
+ * length (the return value) is greater than or equal to the str_m argument,
+ * the resulting string was truncated and some of the formatted characters
+ * were discarded. These routines present a handy way to limit the amount
+ * of allocated memory to some sane value.
+ *
+ * AVAILABILITY
+ *   http://www.ijs.si/software/snprintf/
+ *
+ * REVISION HISTORY
+ * 1999-04	V0.9  Mark Martinec
+ *		- initial version, some modifications after comparing printf
+ *		  man pages for Digital Unix 4.0, Solaris 2.6 and HPUX 10,
+ *		  and checking how Perl handles sprintf (differently!);
+ * 1999-04-09	V1.0  Mark Martinec <mark.martinec@ijs.si>
+ *		- added main test program, fixed remaining inconsistencies,
+ *		  added optional (long long int) support;
+ * 1999-04-12	V1.1  Mark Martinec <mark.martinec@ijs.si>
+ *		- support the 'p' conversion (pointer to void);
+ *		- if a string precision is specified
+ *		  make sure the string beyond the specified precision
+ *		  will not be referenced (e.g. by strlen);
+ * 1999-04-13	V1.2  Mark Martinec <mark.martinec@ijs.si>
+ *		- support synonyms %D=%ld, %U=%lu, %O=%lo;
+ *		- speed up the case of long format string with few conversions;
+ * 1999-06-30	V1.3  Mark Martinec <mark.martinec@ijs.si>
+ *		- fixed runaway loop (eventually crashing when str_l wraps
+ *		  beyond 2^31) while copying format string without
+ *		  conversion specifiers to a buffer that is too short
+ *		  (thanks to Edwin Young <edwiny@autonomy.com> for
+ *		  spotting the problem);
+ *		- added macros PORTABLE_SNPRINTF_VERSION_(MAJOR|MINOR)
+ *		  to snprintf.h
+ * 2000-02-14	V2.0 (never released) Mark Martinec <mark.martinec@ijs.si>
+ *		- relaxed license terms: The Artistic License now applies.
+ *		  You may still apply the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+ *		  as was distributed with previous versions, if you prefer;
+ *		- changed REVISION HISTORY dates to use ISO 8601 date format;
+ *		- added vsnprintf (patch also independently proposed by
+ *		  Caolan McNamara 2000-05-04, and Keith M Willenson 2000-06-01)
+ * 2000-06-27	V2.1  Mark Martinec <mark.martinec@ijs.si>
+ *		- removed POSIX check for str_m<1; value 0 for str_m is
+ *		  allowed by ISO C99 (and GNU C library 2.1) - (pointed out
+ *		  on 2000-05-04 by Caolan McNamara, caolan@ csn dot ul dot ie).
+ *		  Besides relaxed license this change in standards adherence
+ *		  is the main reason to bump up the major version number;
+ *		- added nonstandard routines asnprintf, vasnprintf, asprintf,
+ *		  vasprintf that dynamically allocate storage for the
+ *		  resulting string; these routines are not compiled by default,
+ *		  see comments where NEED_V?ASN?PRINTF macros are defined;
+ *		- autoconf contributed by Caolan McNamara
+ * 2000-10-06	V2.2  Mark Martinec <mark.martinec@ijs.si>
+ *		- BUG FIX: the %c conversion used a temporary variable
+ *		  that was no longer in scope when referenced,
+ *		  possibly causing incorrect resulting character;
+ *		- BUG FIX: make precision and minimal field width unsigned
+ *		  to handle huge values (2^31 <= n < 2^32) correctly;
+ *		  also be more careful in the use of signed/unsigned/size_t
+ *		  internal variables - probably more careful than many
+ *		  vendor implementations, but there may still be a case
+ *		  where huge values of str_m, precision or minimal field
+ *		  could cause incorrect behaviour;
+ *		- use separate variables for signed/unsigned arguments,
+ *		  and for short/int, long, and long long argument lengths
+ *		  to avoid possible incompatibilities on certain
+ *		  computer architectures. Also use separate variable
+ *		  arg_sign to hold sign of a numeric argument,
+ *		  to make code more transparent;
+ *		- some fiddling with zero padding and "0x" to make it
+ *		  Linux compatible;
+ *		- systematically use macros fast_memcpy and fast_memset
+ *		  instead of case-by-case hand optimization; determine some
+ *		  breakeven string lengths for different architectures;
+ *		- terminology change: 'format' -> 'conversion specifier',
+ *		  'C9x' -> 'ISO/IEC 9899:1999 ("ISO C99")',
+ *		  'alternative form' -> 'alternate form',
+ *		  'data type modifier' -> 'length modifier';
+ *		- several comments rephrased and new ones added;
+ *		- make compiler not complain about 'credits' defined but
+ *		  not used;
