Thanks for letting us know, Andy.

Other than Petr, two people are listed as maintainers of vsprintf.c:
Sergey and Steve.  Both of them were fine with v1 (no tests) and sent
their acks.

Rasmus, you wanted to see some tests, so I posted v2.  However Petr
wanted to restructure the test suite first, and it didn't seem like you
him agreed on what exactly that should look like.  Which would you
prefer to be picked by Andrew, v1 or v2?
