This was discussed originally, and we can't or rather don't want to
use the support/xasprintf.c since it may need to be built differently
from what we need for a distributed binary.

I would like to keep support/* infrastructure directly decoupled from
the installed programs we build.

Yes that means having possibly two xmalloc's and two xasprintf's.

For example the runtime implementation needs gettext and translation
for the error message, and calls error.

The support implementation doesn't need translations and can include
a bunch more headers and use FAIL_EXIT1.

I would really like to consider them distinct implementation for
distinct operating environments.
