Well, in C++11, snprintf *is* in the std:: namespace. See
http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/c/fprintf. However, if we can get
along without using std::snprintf() and use the C library snprintf()
instead as a work-around in Buildroot, then it's all great for me.

But it would require a reworking of your patch, along the lines of:

std::snprintf() is only available in C++11, which is not provided by
all compilers. Since the C library snprintf() can easily be used as a
replacement on Linux systems, this patch changes jsoncpp to use the C
library snprintf() instead of C++11 std::snprintf().

Thanks,

Thomas
