portability with other *BSD projects (NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, MacOSX
maybe).
>BSD4.4 certainly didn't have varargs there....
4.4BSD did not have prototype in protosw.h, there's no varargs either.
freebsd added prototype on its own, and thus change/broke some of the
existing xx{in,out}put prototypes. netbsd/openbsd added varargs, to
keep existing practices in 4.4BSD.
see it for yourself.
