The problem is that the alias will be picked up by every libpq client. I
got around the problem with ecpg's libpgtypes by unaliasing  sprintf and
snprintf. But we can't do that everywhere.

I'm not sure I see the objection to stripping these out of the *.def files.

I can't spend any more time on this now - I have spent far too much on
it already. My working patch is attached. Maybe I can look at it again
in a few days.
