I have now added the macro from libgphoto2 which creates a _stdint.h
which should always contain adequate definitions for
u?int(8|16|32)_t.

I don't have MSVC, so could you please test it?

You can find a test tarball at

    http://n-dimensional.de/blaf/libexif-0.6.9.tar.gz
    http://n-dimensional.de/blaf/exif-0.6.9.tar.gz

[ test tarballs for the 0.7.0 release ]

BTW, how are you compiling libexif with MSVC? On unixoid systems, you
run

        ./configure
        make
        make install

On Windows, you don't have a shell to execute configure, so how do you
do that?

BTW, I managed to cross-compile the code from the tarball on a Debian
system for a W32 target using mingw32 using

      ./configure --host=3Di586-mingw32msvc

but I don't know how that helps you MSVC people, or how to create a
.DLL file. The result is just a libexif.a file.

Porting stuff to MSVC is new to me. I only have a little experience
with Cygwin and Mingw32 on W2K.
