+The files
+
+ asnprintf.c
+ printf-args.c
+ printf-args.h
+ printf-parse.c
+ printf-parse.h
+ vasnprintf.c
+ vasnprintf.h
+
+are taken from the vasnprintf module of the GNUlib package, which can
+be found at:
+
+ http://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/
+
+All files have been modified to include g-gnulib.h.
+
+vasnprintf.c has also been modified to include support for long long
+printing if the system printf doesn't. This code is protected by
+#ifndef HAVE_LONG_LONG_FORMAT.
+
+Code has been added to printf-args.[ch], printf-parse.c and vasnprintf.c
+to support printing of __int64 values with the I64 format modifier. This
+is protected by #ifdef HAVE_INT64_AND_I64.
+
+The files
+
+ printf.h
+ printf.c
+ g-gnulib.h
+
+have been written by me. printf.[hc] contain implementations of the
+remaining functions in the printf family based on vasnprintf.
+g-gnulib.h is included by all source files in order to move all
+exported functions to the _g_gnulib namespace, replace malloc by
+g_malloc and make sure that snprintf is only used if it implements
+C99 return value semantics.

+-----
+
+GStreamer modifications
+
+This was imported from GLib's gnulib subdirectory.
+
+g-gnulib.h and _g_gnulib namespace has been changed to gst-printf.h and
+__gst_printf namespace for GStreamer. Also #define HAVE_SNPRINTF 0 has
+been changed to #undef HAVE_SNPRINTF, and HAVE_ALLOCA has been replaced
+by an #if defined(alloca) || defined(GLIB_HAVE_ALLOCA_H)
+
+printf-extension.[ch] were added to provide support for custom pointer
+arguments (e.g. caps, events, etc.)
+
+Files have also been indented with gst-indent, so this is basically a
+permanent fork and any patches will have to be merged manually.
