Comment(by robe):

 okay sadly none of these worked, however, I was able to find a good
 workaround.

 Taking tips from this:
 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8488671/unix-to-windows-alternative-to-
 vsnprintf-to-determine-length

 I used this function:
 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/w05tbk72%28VS.71%29.aspx

 To determine the correct size to allocate.  Just don't know how to make
 this a conditional define.

 so my workaround looks like this:


 {{{
 if ( len < 0 )
         len = _vscprintf(fmt, ap2);/**Assume windows and compute space **/
 }}}

 That fixed my issue of being able to load large polygons with shp2pgsql.
