Maybe using your new header is OK, but it should use #ifdef HAVE_STDINT_H
internally to get the right platform definitions. You should also rename
your types to match the ones in stdint.h. Sort of b and c together.

But I don't really know what approach the mono folks use to keep the build
portable, so maybe someone who knows this should answer?
