Well, <inttypes.h> is C99. Non-C99 platforms tend to define the types in 
<sys/types.h> instead. It *is* preferable to use the standard names --- 
int8_t, u_int8_t, etc --- rather than rolling your own, so I suspect the 
question should be: why isn't the rest of ScummVM using the standard types?

What non-C99 platforms does ScummVM run on? Most environments seem to be 
gcc-based. Is Visual C++ C99-compatible?
