The gnulib stuff is for portability. The stdint.h in the gnulib/ directory
of libvirt will only be used on OS where there is no stdint.h present in
the regular /usr/include.

Can someone tell me what OS / platform the libvirt compile errors were
occurring on. stdint.h  is a pretty common thing so I'd only expect it
to be have been used when building libvirt on Windows, certainly not when
on Linux.

Dan.
