Right. I might give this a try. But IMO neither this inline issue nor the 
stdint issue nor other things that we might want to improve thanks to C99 are 
necessary to simply enable using C99 in the source. The SCM_INLINE_etc defines 
work as they are and everything else seems to be backwards compatible. The 
fixes are more likely to happen once the C99 switch has been flipped.

I didn't know about git-send-mail, it's neat. It should be mentioned in 
HACKING! I can resend the patches in that format, just let me know.
