  <h2>
   SYNOPSIS
  </h2>
  <p class="indent" style="white-space:nowrap;">
   <code>AX_CREATE_STDINT_H [( HEADER-TO-GENERATE [, HEDERS-TO-CHECK])]</code>
  </p>
  <h2>
   DESCRIPTION
  </h2>
  <div class="indent">
   <p>
    the "ISO C9X: 7.18 Integer types &lt;stdint.h&gt;" section requires the
    existence of an include file &lt;stdint.h&gt; that defines a set of
    typedefs, especially uint8_t,int32_t,uintptr_t. Many older installations
    will not provide this file, but some will have the very same definitions in
    &lt;inttypes.h&gt;. In other enviroments we can use the inet-types in
    &lt;sys/types.h&gt; which would define the typedefs int8_t and u_int8_t
    respectivly.
   </p>
   <p>
    This macros will create a local "_stdint.h" or the headerfile given as an
    argument. In many cases that file will just "#include &lt;stdint.h&gt;" or
    "#include &lt;inttypes.h&gt;", while in other environments it will provide
    the set of basic 'stdint's definitions/typedefs:
   </p>
   <pre>
  int8_t,uint8_t,int16_t,uint16_t,int32_t,uint32_t,intptr_t,uintptr_t
  int_least32_t.. int_fast32_t.. intmax_t
</pre>
   <p>
    which may or may not rely on the definitions of other files, or using the
    AC_CHECK_SIZEOF macro to determine the actual sizeof each type.
   </p>
   <p>
    if your header files require the stdint-types you will want to create an
    installable file mylib-int.h that all your other installable header may
    include. So if you have a library package named "mylib", just use
   </p>
   <pre>
     AX_CREATE_STDINT_H(mylib-int.h)
</pre>
   <p>
    in configure.ac and go to install that very header file in Makefile.am
    along with the other headers (mylib.h) - and the mylib-specific headers can
    simply use "#include &lt;mylib-int.h&gt;" to obtain the stdint-types.
   </p>
   <p>
    Remember, if the system already had a valid &lt;stdint.h&gt;, the generated
    file will include it directly. No need for fuzzy HAVE_STDINT_H things...
    (oops, GCC 4.2.x has deliberatly disabled its stdint.h for non-c99
    compilation and the c99-mode is not the default. Therefore this macro will
    not use the compiler's stdint.h - please complain to the GCC developers).
