I don't think we can reuse this particular file on another port,
because it seems closely patterned after the system version of
/usr/include/va_list.h which leads me to suspect its tied to the OS.
That leads me to another question, on what particular versions
of OSF would we use it? I.e., do we need it on 3.x? Do we need it on all
4.x versions? Would we use the same replacement va_list.h on all
versions? Ugh.
Anyway, I'm happy to test a final fix, assuming I can get it in
patch form. :-)
