Thank you, I was not aware of that.  I am actually building 64-bit 
libraries using mingw-w64, and unfortunately __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO is 
not fully implemented there. On their support wiki 
"http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mingw-w64/wiki/printf%20and%20scanf%20family" 
it states:

"Currently only printf family is implemented and scanf implementation is 
waiting for volunteer."

Sure enough, I tried it and still get the warning.  Given that, what's 
the best way to fix this on x86_64-w64-mingw32?
