Please fix this for 2.0.1... we use these functions for --help and
--version and I've already had a bug report about it (and the code hasn't
even been released yet!).

Besides, fixing it has the advantage that anyone who is using it for
binary data will get a nice warning so they can fix it. I can't see how
these functions were ever useful for that:

g_print(data)		will choke on %s, etc
g_print("%s", data)	is stupidly inefficient

Besides, they both stop on '\0', so they're no use for binary data anyway!
