Agreed (and the X11 include (openwin) which are not ANSI C compliant is 
the biggest problem...)
Solaris 2.5.1 is really an old system.
Nevertheless, configure tests for vsprintf... it should also for 
vsnprintf, shouldn't it ?

I would say vs(n)printf is not very significant bug.

But being unable to configure when X is present but not wanted (or 
compatible, but C++ hates K&R syntax... so better compiling povray 
without X11 at all for me) is the real problem.
(And might not be limited to my solaris...)

I'll be offline for the weekend (which start right now!)
