I'm now informed...

The XyZ constructs are normally integer formats
that are defined to handle 32/64 bit situations
in fprintf-like statements. This is not found
in "older" operating systems, like Solaris 2.8.
Unfortunately, we still support that and we need
to have a solution for it. I will have to include
some configure-time fiddling that would define those
if the OS doesn't. This affects really only Solaris
2.8. I do not know how it affects Windows but we will
learn that pretty soon...

The "stdint.h" seems like it's not something standard
as it does not appear on all plafroms (Solaris does not
have that at all). The funny thing is: if I remove it
from the nsthread.h (where it is included) all code
compiles correctly. I guess nobody really needs that
explicitly. If some platform needs it, it may be that
the file is auto-included....  I will hence remove that
include from nsthread.h, so I have no problems on Solaris.

If there are objections to that, we must discuss it
and find workarrunds. For the time being I will just
do as said above.
