Good.  I got annoyed enough to do the same myself before opening my
mailbox.  One thing that is curious about your version is that it
still has "#include <stdint.h>" behind HAVE_STDINT_H; when I tried
to compile an equivalent of your change last night, the compilation
failed because intptr_t wasn't available without exposing <stdint.h>

Where is Windows build getting its intptr_t, I wonder.
