I've just checked three new functions into lib/stdlib.php.
__printf, __sprintf, and __vsprintf.  These behave like the
PHP's built-in printf functions, except:

 1. They pass the format string through gettext().
 2. The support the above method of argument reordering.

(I've also fixed locale/Makefile, so that xgettext will find
the format strings of __printf()s, __sprintf()s, __vsprintf()s...)



For the argument reordering to work, code like:

  printf(gettext("..format string.."), ..., ...);

needs to be changed to:

  __printf("..format string..", ..., ...);

(And similarly for sprintf.)
