Yes, DJGPP 2.03 (the current release) doesn't support them :-(

Such defines are not very nice (although the Watcom port heavily uses them).
I would prefer that you put in all relevant places an explicit #ifdef

#ifdef HAVE_SNPRINTF
snprint(...)
#else
sprintf()
#endif

so that we can #define HAVE_SNPRINTF in the configuration header for each port 
that supports them.

And I think Win32 supports the non-underscored variants too, since they are 
defined by ISO C99.
