Every other C library and application I used to look at defined its own 
types. Even 20 years after C99.

Eg, SDL, GTK, OpenGL use Uint or GLint or Gluint.

SQLite uses sqlite_uint32.

BZip uses UInt32.

STB_image uses stbi__uint32, etc.

On reason might have been in case stdint.h was not available. But I also 
believe the uint32_t style is unliked.

In either case, there is still a huge amount of C code about that 
doesn't use those standard types.
