I didn't see any closure to my question as to whether we should just be
exporting these as 'asprintf' et al., instead of creating a new name.

Do we trust autoconf enough to expect to be able to correctly detect the
presence of a 'real' asprintf so that our replacement only be used on
systems not having one? If so, perhaps just using the standard name
would make the code easier to maintain? Or not?
