How should we override broken snprintf implementations?

[John McCabe-Dansted]

Hi, the address@hidden team is wondering how to best handle the case
where a broken native snprintf implementation (e.g. on mingw)
prevents gnulib-tool from providing gnulib's C99 compatible snprintf.
-- e.g.: http://http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/pspp-dev/2007-02/msg00043.html

Is there a recommended way of overcoming this problem?

BTW, Simply renaming gnulibs snprintf to c99_snprintf provides us with
a c99 compatible snprintf, although with a non standard name.
