but if so, then you shouldnt care about actual size of int and unsigned int.
you should use "uint32" and so on, if you specifically care about sizes !

hopefully, your "better" will mean using those typedefs.

There are many many other programs using autoconf that seem to handling
things a lot simpler then what you have done, when caring about sizes,
and things with limit.h 
What you did with your own fake stdint.h, is very complicated. 
Perhaps you might copy one of those things, intead of trying to invent your
own, complicated way?
