Summary: Make exec and spawn function prototypes 32/64 bit neutral 

Initial Comment:
With MS compiler exec* and spawn* functions return intptr_t rather than int.
(see eg http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xwy0k9bb(VS.71).aspx)
This facilitates Win32-Win64 compatibility.
Here, in the spirit of mingw32-mingw64 compatibility,is a patch to do the same on mingw.

	* include/process.h:  Include stdint.h for intptr_t definition.

	 _execvpe, _spawnl, _spawnle, _spawnlp, _spawnlpe, _spawnv,
	 _spawnve, _spawnvp, _spawnvpe):  Return intptr_t.
