I think I meant something different by that sentence than what you
think I meant :)

What I meant is IF <linux/fuse.h> is included by userspace (it sure is
meant to be included and *is* included by libfuse and other stuff)
THEN using <stdint.h> instead of <linux/types.h> is fine regardless of
whether __linux__ is defined or not.

Does that sound better, or is there still something we disagree about?

Thanks,
Miklos
