Funny you should ask.  I just finished implementing an enhanced version of
gencat, catgets, catopen and catclose (sorry, no strcoll or strxfrm), although
I may do a limited functionality version of sprintf.

These are not quite ready for release (when I say "just finished" I mean like
last night).  However I hope to release them after some testing.  It would
also be good to have them used on a site which is already using an existing
system, just to make sure I got them right.

Let me know if you're interested, I'll compile a list and try and get back
to you soon.

I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
