  *printf: Add support for MSVC compiler.
  
  * m4/printf.m4 (gl_PRINTF_DIRECTIVE_N): On MSVC, install a handler that
  handles the exception caused by the %n directive. When cross-compiling,
  guess no on native Windows.
  (gl_SNPRINTF_TRUNCATION_C99, gl_SNPRINTF_RETVAL_C99,
  gl_SNPRINTF_DIRECTIVE_N, gl_SNPRINTF_SIZE1): When snprintf is missing,
  emulate it through vsnprintf.
  * m4/vsnprintf-posix.m4 (gl_FUNC_VSNPRINTF_POSIX): Update comment.
  * doc/posix-functions/dprintf.texi: Update documentation regarding
  MSVC 9.
