We really don't want to cram fiddly implementation details down people's 
throats in menuconfig.  Whether or not the C library you're compiling against 
supports dprintf definitely qualifies as a fiddly implementation detail.

Considering we mostly use FILE * elsewhere (which I personally dislike, but 
it's our standard) possibly we should just switch these to fprintf(), and if 
that turns out to bloat the code unacceptably maybe we should rethink our 
pervasive use of FILE * as our standard way of doing I/O through libbb?
