/* snprintf() emulation for platforms which don't have it (yet). 
   
   Return value

       The number of characters printed (not including the trailing
       `\0' used to end output to strings) or a negative number in
       case of an error.

       PyOS_snprintf and PyOS_vsnprintf do not write more than size
       bytes (including the trailing '\0').

       If the output would have been truncated, they return the number
       of characters (excluding the trailing '\0') which would have
       been written to the final string if enough space had been
       available. This is inline with the C99 standard.
