 boost config files?

 We have to fall back to code that doesn't depend on UINT8_MAX etc being
 defined.  Ideally if stdint.h is included twice - once without
 {{{__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS}}} and then again with it, it will do the right
 thing and fill in the definitions it missed out the first time.  Not all
 implementations do that though :-(
