Lovely.  :-)  Wget does come with a printf implementation, but it's
used only on systems that don't have snprintf, and I'd kind of like
it to stay that way.  This is one of those wheels that are not that
much fun to reinvent.  (But then again, I thought exactly the same
about hash tables, and I ended up having to roll my own.)
