These are the ISO C 9X integer types aren't they ?

I don't think we have got as far as completely ansi'fing the code yet,
never mind using C-9X features.
It might be a worthwhile project to make that file use C-9X when 
available, and only then grovel deep inside systems for older compilers,
but basically it is a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
