>Description:
On FreeBSD, <stdint.h> and <sys/stdint.h> are the same file. POSIX only mandates <stdint.h>, so in other systems <sys/stdint.h> isn't present.

Lots of code, including libraries and utilities, in the FreeBSD source tree uses <sys/stdint.h> instead of <stdint.h>, which makes it harder to port.

Please could you replace all instances of '#include <sys/stdint.h>' with '#include <stdint.h>', to make your code more portable and help projects that rely heavily on FreeBSD codebase (like Debian GNU/kFreeBSD)?

Thanks!
