Re: snprintfv for gnulib?

Currently, the standalone library has the possibility to load additional 
external modules.  It would be great to keep this possibility as a 
separate, optional gnulib module.

My plan would be like this:

1) gnulibize snprintfv as it is in the repository now.  This includes 
for example using the unlocked I/O modules and the math module.

2) move filaments (resizable strings) to gnulib as a separate module.

3) move the basic functionality of snprintfv streams to gnulib as a 
separate module.

4) enhance streams providing the default stream types (file descriptor, 
stdio file, filament, etc.) used in snprintfv, and remove those from 
snprintfv.

5) move the body of snprintfv to gnulib.

6) move some functionality like parse_printf_format into separate modules.

7) add back the dynamic loading functionality (snprintfv/dl-yes.c) as a 
separate gnulib module.

Does it seem sane?
