I believe someone will be submitting a patch soon :-)

But note: varargs functions cannot be inline, it seems.
Thus the defines

#define cprintf _cprintf
#define cscanf _cscanf

in conio.h cannot be handled this way.
BTW, although MSVC4.0 used #define's to do this kind of
aliasing, MSVC6.0 uses some other scheme; both cprintf and _cprintf
have real prototypes in conio.h there.

Anyone know what the right thing to do there is?
