This patch uses our own snprintf() only when NLS support is enabled, and
I added support for %qd and %I64d in snprintf. We might need those in
the final version if it is exported to apps.

test -a is not portable.

Thanks, fixed:

if test "$enable_nls" = yes && test $pgac_need_repl_snprintf = no; then

I see no point in this; it does not solve any problem we need solved,
only complicate the configuration behavior even more.

I consider this an awful idea as well.

I think this is analogous to checking for snprintf() support of 64-bit
integers only if we previously found 64-bit integers to be supported.
We don't need to include our own snprintf() if we don't need the extra
features it provides.

Peter answered this.

Moved into a NOT_USED block so we can keep it in case we want it later.
