We can easily make some of it conditional (the exported functions),
but some of it is changes to make the low-level formatter respect an
'end' pointer. I will take a look as there might be something clever
we can do there. We would also need to add, for example, an snprintf()
macro which drops the numeric parameter, so that code which uses
snprintf() continues to work.

Simon
