  No, he is using the DLLs/headers in a Visual Studio Project, so he is
on it's own basically. The time he configured inttypes.h was available
in mingw environment.
  And if he would continue using mingw/msys as build environment and gcc
as compiler he would still have inttypes.h.

  IMHO the solution is simply that people takin it to another build
environment do the extra work to define EMULATE_INTTYPES if they
don't have it. This is also described in the documentation for using
libav* with Visual C++. Maybe others think different...
