pritnf-hooks-2009-03-02.patch with full interface

Ulrich

This patch satisfies the interface requirements you laid out earlier and
completes the work of the previous patch, namely:

Unified function for creating a length modifier or conversion specifier
override.

Elimination of the free callback, and elimination of the requirement that a
user malloc storage.  GLIBC now takes a 'size' indicator when the length
modifier is registered and allocates storage for the user based on this.

I'd like comment on two factors.  Should I break apart the array of overrides
into a few single-type arrays rather than the unified array?

Also the current flag mechanism is limited since it uses unused bits in the
existing data_args_type flag to set user flags.  It only supports up to 16
override format codes this way.  I didn't want to extend any public structures
or modify and public functions without comment from you.

Thanks
Ryan
