+   In ANSI mode (ISO C89/90) compilers such as gcc and clang do not
+   define the va_copy macro. However, they *do* in reasonably recent
+   versions provide a prefixed (__*) one. The by-feature test below
+   falls back to the prefixed version, if available, and provides a
+   more general fallback to a simple assignment; this is primarily for
+   MSVC; admittedly, this simplifcation is not generally portable to
+   platform/compiler combos other then x86, but the best I can think of right
+   now. One might constrain the assignment-fallback to a platform and 
+   leave va_copy undefined in uncaught platform cases (?).
