I think that is unlikely to be accepted into FFmpeg, I expect esp.
Mans to be against it.
And actually I think I agree, because the change to "fix" the system is
much, much smaller: create a stdint.h with "#include inttypes.h".
That still will not be C99-compatible but will work at least as well as
the proposed changes (and will make some people notice how both outdated
and/or not standards-compliant their systems are, which is not a bad
thing either).
