Ugh, sorry about that, I thought there used to be a stringify() macro
that used to do this.  Nice patch, I'll queue it up.

That's __stringify() which is defined in  but:
1) inside a string (eg "__stringify(vendor)") it's gonna never work;
2) it's not required here, __stringify(vendor) would be needed
   if vendor was itself a macro and the macro content was to be
   converted to a string.
