Otherwise we have to either overload the meaning of one of the ANSI format string characters with it - e.g. '00' could mean comma insertion instead of zero extension, or remove the flag alltogether. the only fully ANSI correct solution would be to use %s and wrap the actual integer in a "comma_convert_decimal()" helper routine which formats the number and returns a pointer to a string instead.
