*printf: Add support for MSVC compiler. * m4/printf.m4 (gl_PRINTF_DIRECTIVE_N): On MSVC, install a handler that handles the exception caused by the %n directive. When cross-compiling, guess no on native Windows. (gl_SNPRINTF_TRUNCATION_C99, gl_SNPRINTF_RETVAL_C99, gl_SNPRINTF_DIRECTIVE_N, gl_SNPRINTF_SIZE1): When snprintf is missing, emulate it through vsnprintf. * m4/vsnprintf-posix.m4 (gl_FUNC_VSNPRINTF_POSIX): Update comment. * doc/posix-functions/dprintf.texi: Update documentation regarding MSVC 9. * doc/posix-functions/fprintf.texi: Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/printf.texi: Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/snprintf.texi: Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/sprintf.texi: Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/swprintf.texi: Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/vdprintf.texi: Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/vfprintf.texi: Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/vprintf.texi: Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/vsnprintf.texi: Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/vsprintf.texi: Likewise. * doc/glibc-functions/asprintf.texi: Likewise. * doc/glibc-functions/obstack_printf.texi: Likewise. * doc/glibc-functions/obstack_vprintf.texi: Likewise. * doc/glibc-functions/vasprintf.texi: Likewise.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
This function is missing on some platforms:
NetBSD 3.0, OpenBSD 3.8, Minix 3.1.8, HP-UX 11.00, IRIX 6.5, Solaris 2.6, Cygwin 1.5.x, Interix 3.5, BeOS.
@item
This function does not support the @samp{n} directive on some platforms:
MSVC 9.
@item
On AIX and Windows platforms, @code{wchar_t} is a 16-bit type and therefore cannot
accommodate all Unicode characters.
@item
On Windows, this function does not take a buffer size as second argument.
