Thanks for the good work, Tom!

I just have one question: where do you link in the `compat' library?
At first sight, you just don't. That is no big deal; but I am a little
worried about platforms that do not have strdup. Will this work out
automagically?

If we don't need the compat directory, we should get rid of it in the
archive and change `configure' a bit.

And the final question: if Windows does not have snprintf and vsnprintf,
why does it have a _snprintf and _vsnprintf? Are they declared in
system headers with those names? If not, through what system header
are they picked up? And wouldn't it be nicer if I added a configure-check
for it and did the #define in config.h?

Thanks,
  Frodo
