Format strings... are you building this on 64-bit, then?  If so, would
you be willing to help me test a 64-bit-friendly version, if I do the
work of making xenalyze capable of being compiled either under x64 or
x32?  I don't have a 64-bit environment handy, and don't have time to
set one up just for this purpose.

Sorry for the patches not applying cleanly.  I've now updated the
back-patches, so if you do a pull they should apply.  Let me know if
you have any trouble.
