The subject came up recently on the FlightGear list, and the upshot is
that everyone but Microsoft supports the stdint.h header in recent
compiler versions.  MSVC does, however, have 64 bit integer types, so
what we did is something to the effect of:

#ifdef _WIN32
typedef unsigned long long uint64_t;
#else
#include <stdint.h>
#endif

etc...

In this case, though, I wonder if perhaps the joystick bitmask could
just be stored in a unsigned char array instead rather than playing
portability games with the preprocessor.
