-/* This output manipulator gives the option to use Old style format
-   specifications in ostreams. Note that this is done at the expense
-   of typesafety, so if possible this manipulator should be avoided.
-   When is it allowed to use this manipulator? I wrote it to be used
-   i18n strings and gettext, and it should only(?) be used in that
-   context.
-
-   Ad. the implementation. I have only tested this on egcs-2.91.66 with
-   glibc 2.1.2. So further testing is needed. The loop in fmt(...) will
-   usually spin one or two times, but might spin more times with older
-   glibc libraries, since the returned -1 when size is too small. Newer
-   glibc returns the needed size.
-   One problem can be that vsnprintf is not implemented on all archs,
-   but AFAIK it is part of the new ANSI C standard.
