Providing an alternate vsnprintf() directly is an assured solution, 
however I don't want to include that as part of zlib.  It's large, 
complicated, will have it's own portability issues that I'd get 
questions about, and it's relatively uncommon to not have vsnprintf().  
This is rather more involved than providing an alternate memcpy().  I 
have however pointed to the above link in the FAQ.
