* msgbuild
* --------
* We use a "varargs" function to enable a description of how the
* final message should look to be provided. We use a function rather
* than in-line macros to keep the size of Angel small.
*
* The "buffer" pointer is the starting point from where the data will
* be written. Note: If a NULL pointer is passed then no data will be
* written, but the size information will be returned. This allows
* code to call this routine with a NULL "buffer" pointer to ascertain
* whether the pointer they are passing contains enough space for the
* message being constructed.
*
* The "format" string should contain sequences of the following
* tokens:
* %w - insert 32bit word value
* %p - insert 32bit target pointer value
* %h - insert 16bit value
* %b - insert 8bit byte value
*
* The return parameter is the final byte length of the data written.

* -------
