yes, I remembered the solaris case. The standard Autoconf tests for the
sized integer types do actually this:
1. they test for the existence of the headers.
2. next, they test that the typedefs are actually there.
3. If 2 fails, then they try to guess the types by running a
program similar to yours, except that they avoid possible
(mis)-optimization by compilers that assume that signed integer
overflow is undefined-behaviour.
I did not include the diff for 'configure' because I assumed that you
would recreate it yourself. The other thing I was unsure about was
whetehr you wanted to bump the required (developer) Autotools to version
2.62.
