Or what about:
 - if d1>0, d1 specifies the maximum number of characters
 - if d1<0, -d1 specifies the maximum number of characters and dp2
points to dp+sizeof(buf)
 - if d1=0, no character limit and dp2 points to dp+sizeof(buf)

While we're at it, maybe dp2 can point to two ints, the first specifying
the max number of bytes and the second the max number of pixels? This
can be useful if the text that is later going to be displayed somewhere.
