I am looking for source to a printf-type routine.  Specifically, this
routine would format to memory as sprintf does, but instead of taking
a pointer to the working buffer as sprintf does, I would like this
routine to allocate the needed space via malloc(3) and return a
pointer to that space.

The specific application of such a printf(3) variant would be to
eliminate a great many static/constant sized buffers in a program I am
writing.
