Yes; it does not make sense for a library to call a function that may call
xalloc_die(). Using xvasprintf results in small and maintainable code.
You could also do it without xvasprintf: perform similar code as in
error.c, really calling vfprintf. To avoid the code duplication, you
could move the bulk of code from error.c to verror.c and then have the
'error' module rely on 'verror'.
