[Dovecot] configure error on HP-UX: C99 compatible vsnprintf() call

[Woonsan Ko]

Hi Timo,

Thank you very much for quick response.
I have just tested with your new package, but they print other errors during `make':

1. `make' after `configure'

Error 239: "str-find.c", line 17 # A struct/union shall not contain a member
    with incomplete type.
            int goodtab[];
                ^^^^^^^

2. `make' after `configure CC=/opt/aCC/bin/aCC -AC99'

Error 20: "mempool-alloconly.c", line 83 # '<number>' expected before '.'.
            MEMBER(v) &static_alloconly_pool_vfuncs,
            ^^^^^^
Error 19: "mempool-alloconly.c", line 83 # Unexpected ','.
            MEMBER(v) &static_alloconly_pool_vfuncs,
                                                   ^
Error 19: "mempool-alloconly.c", line 86 # Unexpected '.'.
            MEMBER(datastack_pool) FALSE
            ^^^^^^
Error 186: "mempool-alloconly.c", line 83 # Left side of '.' requires a struct
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.


The environment here:
  - uname: HP-UX B.11.23 U ia64
  - aCC version: HP aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.05.55 [Dec 04 2003]


Kind regards,

Woonsan
