Attached is a patch to apt-pkg/acquire-method in a similar spirit.
Log provides a prinf-style interface, so it still uses snprintf, but in
other places ostringstream is used, and I added a Write method that handles
the call to write. Also, uses of char* to iterate over string objects were
fixed. I'm interested in hearing what you find worthwhile.

I've also added a `using namespace std' after the #include lines; you'll
probably want to add this to all modules at some point (looking ahead to
g++ 3.0), but I don't know how you want to handle this.
