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

[Woonsan Ko]

Actually I'm testing with two HP-UX machine here.
[1] `uname': HP-UX B.11.23 U
    `model': 9000/800/rp3440
    CPU: PA-RISC
    `aCC --version': HP ANSI C++ B3910B A.03.80
[2] `uname': HP-UX B.11.23 U ia64
    `model': ia64 hp server rx5670
    CPU: Itanium
    `aCC --version': HP aC++/ANSI C B3910B A.05.55 [Dec 04 2003]

With [1], the MODULE_SUFFIX is ".sl", and plugins are created with .sl suffix when I compile dovecot-1.0.13.
But, With [2], the MODULE_SUFFIX is ".so", and plugins are created with .so suffix when I compile dovecot-1.0.13.

I have no idea why there's a difference between the two.
I googled a page (http://osdir.com/ml/gnu.libtool.general/2003-10/msg00019.html) which seems saying 11.x can make .so suffixed ELF shared library.

I don't know. Is it from the difference between PA-RISC and Itanium or from the difference of the compiler versions?
