I'm ok with the idea of come sort of autoconf check, although I'm not sure 
about the details of the implementation you suggest.

Hardcoding C typenames seem somewhat fragile, looping over [QHSDT]Imode types 
may be better. 

Also a prominent comment making it clear this is a kludge that can go away 
once GCC provides stdint.h.
