When I looked at the backported patch I scratched my head in
wonderment as to why it ever used snprintf.  As for your original
suggestion of support/snprintf.h I didn't even notice it existed and
it didn't occur to me to check... I guess I've been away too long.
That said I have a deadline of the end of February to submit my thesis
so I will continue being absent a little while longer.

Actually if someone wanted to be extra helpful they could fix the
external inset problem mentioned in ANNOUNCE:

- Partly fix the handling of included files. External insets are still
  not working correctly [bug #605].

I've found a few threads in the archive about this but it seems the
more you fix the more you need to fix (at least in 1.4.0cvs).  How is
this work progressing?

Works well here.
