vsnprintf: glibc and win32 not compatible

Hi,
Here I have filed a bug on vsnprintf:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2075
Basically it says, without repeating, that vsnprintf called from glibc is not
quite a suitable replacement for an actual msvcrt vsnprintf. An example is
given to highlight a specific issue. I have a question on how should one
approach fixing this? I have thought of two different ways:
1) Create our own vsnprintf version from scratch (fairly difficult)
or
2) Create a wrapper for glibc's vsnprintf that translates win32ish format
statements into a glibc friendly one. (not too bad and smaller patch) We
could later move in a better or complete version to improve performance.
The issue intrigues me, and I find that it should be resolved at some point.
I'd like to get on the right path, so I'd at least start on something that will
later be accepted.
Thanks,
Jesse
