I'm against this.

the inttypes are not part of c++ by default. They were inroduces by GCC 4.8.
You patch is therefore not backward compatible.

In general i would prefer your solution, but:
- It could change the behaviour because you exchaning the boost types by 
other ones (unknown risk)
- To solve backward compatibilty you need to add defines where you check 
for the GCC/glibc version
--- i don't like this kind of fixed, in the long run we could change if 
really neraly everyone supports the baselevel inttypes.

In the meantime to keep the impact as small as possible, keep the simple 
patch the the same types than before are used.

Best,
Matthias
