I have now implemented the original solution I proposed (which takes advantage
of a configuration check already in place).  So for systems with stdint.h
PLINT will be int32_t, and otherwise it will be int.

This is quite a change from the "long" version of PLINT that was originally
motivated by python needs.  However, those python needs seem to have
appeared last year with one Debian version of python, but they now have gone
away again.  Anyhow, the solution I just committed seems not to generate any
python problems on Debian testing with python version 2.3.5-1.
