Thanks for applying this patch while I was unavailable.

I'm worried that we arrive at a situation where
sizeof (intmax_t) != sizeof (uintmax_t),
if the configure.ac has invoked gl_AC_TYPE_INTMAX_T but not gl_AC_TYPE_UINTMAX_T
or vice versa. I can see two solutions:
a) Have gl_STDINT_H require gl_AC_TYPE_INTMAX_T and gl_AC_TYPE_UINTMAX_T.
b) Merge gl_AC_TYPE_INTMAX_T and gl_AC_TYPE_UINTMAX_T into a single macro
that defines intmax_t and uintmax_t simultaneously.
Which one is better?
Bruno
