I might add the following (from the autoconf 2.59 manual):
-----------8<-----------------------
Portability of Headers
----------------------
<...>
`inttypes.h' vs. `stdint.h'
Paul Eggert notes that: ISO C 1999 says that `inttypes.h'
includes `stdint.h', so there's no need to include `stdint.h'
separately in a standard environment. Many implementations have
`inttypes.h' but not `stdint.h' (e.g., Solaris 7), but I don't
know of any implementation that has `stdint.h' but not
`inttypes.h'. Nor do I know of any free software that includes
`stdint.h'; `stdint.h' seems to be a creation of the committee.
------------8<----------------------
This is why dvipng.h does not read stdint.h. Am I wrong in following
this advice? (Actually, the dvipng distribution uses autoconf 2.5x,
but tetex does not. And I don't suppose Thomas wants to change this
close to release.)
