I don't want to change vprintf in CVS, because it's a workaround, not a fix.
IMHO it's not a good idea to polute the source with workarounds, unless
there are very, very good reasons to do so.

Neither vprinf.c nor sdcc is my work or my software. I refuse to mess around
with other peoples work. I won't change anything, unless I'm absolutely
sure, that I'm doing the right thing. And I'm not sure, if workarounds are
right way to go.
