hey, just for that I need to get around to sending in some "doesn't 
build on solaris" bug reports :)  Actually, I'm only kidding about the 
"just for that" part.  I think I saw some build failures on solaris 
recently but haven't had the chance to give a decent bug report.


This is the 20061009 snapshot:

gmake: *** [main.o] Error 1


so I just commented out the stdint lines in the top level .h files. 
Obviously there should be some check.

that got further but then

which is of course because uint64_t is not defined (thanks to no stdint.h).


grrrr....  this is solaris 9.
