I've checked on the crustiest compilers I can find (SCO and old SunCC
and old GCC), and they all have va_copy.  From what I've found, MSVC++
is the only complier/header set that *doesn't* include va_copy, and
that's not one we have to worry about....

I've also seen reports that the old __va_copy(dst,src) might be defined
on some platforms instead of va_copy(dst,src), but again haven't been
able to find evidence of that in my attempts at finding crusty
compilers.. 

If someone has a compiler that doesn't have it, I'm certainly willing to
adjust configure/port.h to handle that, but I haven't been able to find
a system needing that yet, so don't know what would be needed on that
platform.
