C++ – ‘uint32_t’ identifier not found error

Turns out you can download a MS version of this header from:

https://github.com/mattn/gntp-send/blob/master/include/msinttypes/stdint.h

A portable one can be found here:

Thanks to the Software Ramblings blog.

Since we can't find a version on the Internet, let's start one here.
Most ports to Windows probably only need a subset of the complete Unix file.
Here's a starting point. Please add definitions as needed.
