Based on the "mess" analysis, I decided it is better to allow libintl to use its own snprintf() for Win32 when NLS is enabled, rather than try to override that with our own snprintf. I have added code to configure.in so that we don't check for arg control in native snprintf on Win32 because when we are using NLS, we are going to get their snprintf anyway and not the native one.
