I had an objection as previously stated -- namely that
<stdint.h> should be included to remain friendly to C++0x

stdint.h is therefore not nice.
FWIW, it's kind of pointless in that case; <cstdint> exports it into the
std:: namespace rather than the root namespace, so using stdint types
still don't work.
It again comes down to: for headers exported to userspace we *have* to
use double-underscore types.
