Not all supported windows formatting libs are C99 compliant and some do not
grasp %ll (similar to %zu).  Use int64_t and PRIi64 to work around that.

This is good but there are a number of such instances (otime.c,
packet_id.c, forward.c etc. within code path relevant to Windows).
Many related to time_t like here, one or two other uses of %lld. And
may be more if some DEBUG flags are enabled.

If those are left for future patches, that's ok. Just saying in case
its an oversight..

Good point - I did the lazy thing and just fixed what my compiler was
complaining about.  (My OpenVPN-NL buildbots build with
"-Werror=implicit -Werror=format -Werror=format-security".)

For now, let's leave the rest - that doesn't break my build ;-) - for a
future patch.  I'll put it on my todo list, but will also happily review
patches from someone else if (s)he beats me to it.

Makes sense.. But I'm surprised why it doesn't catch all errors.

I am sending in a patch that covers all format errors that I see in current
windows cross builds.

Anyway, assuming that (i) my longer patch will take more time to get
reviewed/tested and (ii) this is priority if a release is imminent,
ACK from me.

Your patch has been applied to the release/2.4 branch.

Note: the code in master looks subtly different here - also using %lld
for tv.tv_sec, but using %ld / (long) for tv.tv_usec so the patch does not
directly apply.  Since Selva is working on fixing all these for good, I've
decided to take the easy way and only apply this patch to 2.4 - which it
very much looks like it's intended for :-)
