The bu_vls_vprintf function aims to adhere to the following
specifications:

  1.  First, follow the POSIX man page at
      "http://www.unix.com/man-page/POSIX/3/printf/" regarding the
      definition of a format specifier.

  2.  Then modify [1] to accommodate a compatible subset of parts
      applicable to a wide range of standard C libraries including
      GNU/Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, and others as differences are
      brought to our attention.

  3.  The subset [2] shall be the "valid" flags, length modifiers, and
      conversion specifiers ("parts") accepted by this function.
      Those are defined in the following local function:

	format_part_status

  4.  Parts known to be defined outside subset [3] shall generate a
      message stating such invalidity and giving a suitable
      alternative if possible (such parts will be called "obsolete");
      otherwise, the part shall be said to be "unsupported."

  5.  Parts seen by this function but not defined above shall be
      deemed "unknown" and result in a suitable message.

  6.  Library users of this function receiving "unknown" messages
      while attempting to use valid parts according to their O/S and
      compiler need to contact the BRL-CAD developers to resolve the
      issue.  Resolution should normally result in assigning the
      "unknown" part to one of the categories described in [4].
