Slightly better version. I'd missed some configure stuff that could
be removed, and tidied up a few minor typos and mistakes.

I was thinking about that ECPG stuff: I bet real applications prefer
to use int64_t etc directly too instead of long, the worst type in C.
I wondered if the embedded SQL standard might know about that these
days (ECPGt_int64_t?), but I don't have the standard to hand. DB2's
embedded SQL seems to have a type sqlint64, but I didn't look too
closely and of course even if we wanted to do something like that as
an optional API option, that'd be a later change.

BTW I forgot to mention earlier, I peeked at the source of gettext on
NetBSD and illumos, and both appear to handle those special
<inttypes.h> tokens when loading message catalogues.
