They ought to be set in the normal case if you are using Autoconf
2.59, since it does that for you if you ever use the default includes.
So this is mostly just a problem with the megatest harness.

That being said, we should fix this.  A lot of this gorp is obsolete
now that we can assume Autoconf 2.59: we can simply include <stdint.h>
and <inttypes.h> using the pattern suggested in the Autoconf manual,
and test for uintmax_t accordingly.  If you like, I can look into
fixing things along these lines.  It should simplify gnulib.
