Nice to see you've got a native Windoze build - I hope to get around to 
trying it over the next couple of months. I don't want to get involved 
in this particular flamefest, but it's a simple fact that most hardware 
development is on Windows. Anyone who seriously thinks otherwise should 
spend 20 minutes reading comp.arch.fpga.

Can you build using inttypes.h instead? This is what you're meant to do 
on various Solaris releases. The autoconf docs have something on this. 
It may even be better to include inttypes rather than stdint for all 
platforms (for C99, at least).
