As long as <stdarg.h> and <varargs.h> are idempotent, that's fine; code
that calls "snprintf()" should also include <stdio.h> to get it declared
on systems that come with "snprintf()", and <stdio.h> may also include
<stdarg.h> (or <varargs.h>) so that "v*printf()" can be declared, and
code may also include them directly if it uses varargs stuff itself.
