The usage of the #include <stdint.h> / #include <stdbool.h>  in 'portable' C 
code, has been talked about a little over on the john-dev forum.  Generally, 
it does not make for easily portable code.  It will likely be something 
addressed this fall, after the GSOC work has been completed.

As for the makefile rules, gmake and solaris make were the only 2 I had to 
work with. I would like to 'find' a universally correct 'generic make' way 
to do it, but so far have not found it.  Magnum was the one who found the 
original sh/ls steps needed for gmake, then I found out how to do it for 
both gmake/solaris in the same makefile using 2 steps. We either need to 
find ways to add in new make languages, or find a universal method that 
works.

Jim.
