Yes, the issue is that __mingw_vasprintf assumes POSIX-formatter
style.  This could lead to troubles for ventures checking for
vasprintf/asprintf and assuming it has MS' formatting.

Therefore I think it is more sane to disable those two functions in
standard-namespace.  Of course people can check for __mingw_vasprintf
and use it.  But so it is clear it has POSIX-formatting (and result)
rules.

Cheers,
Kai
