Hi, I landed bug 780203 last night, so you should be able to use stdint types when you add or modify idl interfaces. So I would encourage you to do so when its not too far out of your way.
We might want to add size_t / ssize_t also, but that's a little tricker we might well want to add size_t / ssize_t as well, but for those we need to deal with primitive types whose size depends on archetecture when generating xpts etc. Note that I didn't add a int8_t type because we only had a 8 bit unsigned type before, so it didn't seem particularly urgent to make one now.
