K, I'll take a look.  Generally speaking though, I consider
direct use if varargs.h by applications a bug, since stdarg.h is
defined by things like POSIX.  The Single Unix Spec Ver.2 does
support it, but labels it as LEGACY and states "Use of
<varargs.h> is not recommended.".  So I'll probably fix it, but I
really don't plan to expend too much effort supporting obsolete
interfaces.  It is really better to fixup applications in this
case.
