a number of non-x86 archetectures, most notably I64 and Linux/PPC.

Essentially, the problem is that there is NO way to portably contruct a
va_list at run-time.  Currently, this is done in (at least) execmisc.cpp
(and probobly in js_global.c or wherever format() and friends are)

This provides an alternate method of handling such issues which could
(potentially) solve the problem as well as add float/double support.
Comments are encouraged.  This is *NOT* part of the xpdev build and will
not be until it is tested and the marked ToDo items are dealt with.
Further, it most likely won't be *USED* in Synchronet until v4, or until
it recieves heavy testing on a very wide range of platforms and format
specifiers.

xp_*printf() functions for all the standard *printf() functions should be
written, including asprintf() and vasprintf() from the GNU C library.
This will require a new type argument (XP_PRINTF_TYPE_AUTO perhaps) which
will assume that the passed argument is the correct type.

and URANDOM_DEV used for seeding.
Fall-through seeding if there are problems opening URANDOM_DEV.
Use random() and srandom() where available as it's considered quite a bit
better than rand().
Define (but don't use) HAS_SRANDOMDEV_FUNC to indicate that srandomdev()
is avaiable.  The reason it's not used is that xp_randomize() returns the
seed value presumably to make it possible to replay a random sequence and
srandomdev() creates states which cannot be replicated on demand.

writes from JS stuff.

A half-decent start on implementing write_template() in C rather than JS.
Unfortunately, this started to feel too much like my day job, so it's
getting tossed on the pile for (at least) tonight... #ifdef'ed out.

-O3 causes problems on some Ubuntu.

Thanks RuneMaster!

from the ringbuffer but before it is actually sent.

close_request().  Drain the outbuf.

close the socket.

dynamically allocated (duh). Thanks DJCanDeeFlip for the bug report.

(rather than _DEBUG) - improving performance and memory usage in the 99% of
debug builds that don't need the JSDOC stuff.

And just have numbered notes.

Sure, we won't get as many usefull backtraces, but let's be reasonable.

error.

Known bugs: Colour changing stuff does funky.  This needs to be fixed up.
Missing (or just unnoticed) features classic_shell needs:
	User dirs... current user and for other users.
	getfiles() no current way to count files in a dir.
	upload_dir... cannot upload to dirs which have a different upload dir.
	sysop_dir... upload to sysop not available.

script.  What about the object?  This is getting to be useless :-(

other than C80, do not change mode if there's not font, etc.

console.c needs this retrofit too.

(needed for classic_shell.js).

or bbs.exec()) from another JS script would not be reported to the console/log.

(via the alias.cfg file) no longer worked because the ":port" portion of the
destination address wasn't being removed.
