Hmm ...
First line of thought: we surely must not insert a snprintf into
libpq.so unless it is 100% up to spec *and* has no performance issues
... neither of which can be claimed of the CVS-tip version.
Second line of thought: libpq already feels free to insert allegedly
up-to-spec versions of a number of things, and no one has complained.
Maybe the linker prevents problems by not linking these versions to
any calls from outside libpq?
Third thought: Windows' linker seems to be broken enough that it may
create problems of this ilk that exist on no other platform.
