RE: [xml] Release of libxml-2.3.4

[Igor Zlatkovic <izlatkovic daenet de>]

Okay, you are right. 

In Microsoft's C library, the function is called _vsnprintf. This should be
resolved more nicely and I hope to find time for this, but for now let's do
the ugly thing:

Put the folowing onto the end of the file include/win32config.h:

#if !defined __CYGWIN__
#define vsnprintf _vsnprintf
#endif

That should do it for the moment without affecting any platform which
provides vsnprintf function. Again, this should be resolved somewhere on the
C runtime level, because Microsoft's C runtime is full of such underscored
function incarnations. One day I shall write a C header file which maps them
all to names without underscores.

Ciao
Igor
