Re: [boost] stdint.h

Since discussions are going on regarding stdint again, I wanted to re-bring up
that fact that HPUX has the basic stdint.h types defined in it.  I will quote
my message from April regarding this subject in hopes that maybe someone will
think this worth dealing with.

I wrote:

     In porting some of my code to HP-UX 10.20, I discovered
     <sys/_inttypes.h>.  This file appears to get included at some point
     by
     limits.h or perhaps by the compiler (gcc 2.95.2).  In any case,
     _inttypes has all the typedefs that would be in stdint.h.  So I've
     added
     the following code to config.hpp:

     //  begin platform specific portion
     ------------------------------------------//
     # if hpux
     #   define BOOST_SYSTEM_HAS__INTTYPES_H
     # endif //HPUX

     //  end of platform specific portion
     -----------------------------------------//

     and changed boost/stdint.h like so:

     #ifdef BOOST_SYSTEM_HAS_STDINT_H
     #include <stdint.h>

     #elif defined BOOST_SYSTEM_HAS__INTTYPES_H
     #include <sys/_inttypes.h>

     #else
     .
     .
     .

     My other thought was that we could make a macro to represent the
     include
     for the file with the typedefs we're looking for?
