   Actually there's quite a few *printf implementations in the Wine
tree. Too many I would say. What's more, IIRC most of them are
incomplete as they do not support %S and %C (Unicode for ANSI printfs,
ANSI for Unicode printfs). I believe this whole thing needs a good
cleanup...
   Ah, I knew I had entered a bug report for that one:
http://wine.codeweavers.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=321

   sscanf too may need some cleaning. Any volunteers?
