According to the man page I have, snprintf is a GNU extension, and
would only be ther on systems with glibc.  A quick survey of the
systems I have here says (rloging into them and doing man snprintf)

DUnix:  Nope.
Solaris: No.
HPUX: No.
AIX: No.
Irix: Yes.

So using the one in glib would be more portable.
