Afaict one could do it with sed alone. There is the catch that I
haven't checked out the whole xorg tree ;-)

Not to mention the implied 'step 2 removing the upper case version of
the functions' (is this a wise idea?) meaning that we'll need a
handful of compat-api.h updates throughout. And the follow up - "don't
use/deprecate xnf.*printf", as most/all users of these know the exact
max size of the output string (~20 iirc) and/or there is no need for
va_list.

All of which could be done as time permits of course .

P.S. We might want to apply the top two autogen.sh changes tree-wide as well ;-)
