cstdint, whatever it means, is not part of the current C++ standard,
dated 2003, which we are implementing. Something with that name and
semantics closely related to C99 facilities is part of the so called TR1
(Technical Report 1), Chapter 8 exactly, and likely to appear in the
next C++ standard expected before the end of the decade.
For gcc4.0.x the libstdc++-v3 project started delivering parts of TR1,
this is an ongoing effort. At the moment there are no definite plans
concerning Chapter 8, tough.
Thanks,
