*sigh* Even at the end of 2006 M$ seems to ignore standards like C99...
:-P Anyway, the autoconf magic should have detected that there is no
stdint.h and should fall back to M$-specific types like __int8, __int16
etc., but this doesn't seem to work in your case. It looks like I have
to install Visual C++ 2005 and fix the autoconf magic.

Thanks for the report,
