While we're at it, I think that <boost/cstdint.hpp> does not need to
include <limits.h>, not even as an implementation artifact, because
this is done (and used) by <boost/stdint.h>.

Oh, and the #ifdef BOOST_NO_INT64_T in <boost/cstdint.hpp> is wrong.
It should be #ifndef ... (note the "n" at the appropriate place).
(I've fixed that in the CVS.)
