Really? If no Autoconf #defines are present, _nothing_ happens. The
stuff degrades gracefully to just no #include at all. So, this should
not cause any problems.

Well, it was not my idea to include <stdint.h> there. I just wanted to
fix the build-time problems the new addition of <stdint.h> caused. I'm
happy to leave out everything (the status-quo as before <stdint.h> was
added), but I can also live with the current band-aid as it at least
degrades gracefully IMHO.
