  Add obstack-printf and obstack-printf-posix modules.
  
  * modules/obstack-printf: New file.
  * modules/obstack-printf-posix: Likewise.
  * MODULES.html.sh (Misc): Mention them.
  * doc/glibc-functions/obstack_printf.texi (obstack_printf):
  Likewise.
  * doc/glibc-functions/obstack_vprintf.texi (obstack_vprintf):
  Likewise.
  * modules/stdio (Makefile.am): Accomodate new modules.
  * m4/stdio_h.m4 (gl_STDIO_H_DEFAULTS): Likewise.
  * lib/stdio.in.h (rpl_obstack_printf, rpl_obstack_vprintf):
  Declare.
  * lib/obstack_printf.c (obstack_printf, obstack_vprintf): New
  functions.
  * m4/obstack-printf.m4 (gl_OBSTACK_PRINTF)
  (gl_REPLACE_OBSTACK_PRINTF): New macros
  * m4/obstack-printf-posix.m4 (gl_OBSTACK_PRINTF_POSIX): Likewise.
  * tests/test-obstack-printf.c: New file.

  AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11.23, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 9, Cygwin 2006, mingw, BeOS.
  @item
  printf of @samp{long double} numbers is unsupported on some platforms:
  mingw, BeOS.
  @item
  printf @code{"%f"}, @code{"%e"}, @code{"%g"} of Infinity and NaN yields an
  incorrect result on some platforms:
  AIX 5.2, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 10, mingw.
  @item
  This function does not support the @samp{a} and @samp{A} directives on some
  platforms:

  @item
  This function doesn't support the @code{'} flag on some platforms:
  NetBSD 3.0, Cygwin 2006, mingw.
  @item
  This function behaves incorrectly when a @samp{-} flag and a negative width
  are specified together, on some platforms:
  HP-UX 10.20.
  @item
  printf @code{"%010f"} of NaN and Infinity yields an incorrect result (padded
  with zeroes) on some platforms:
