OK.  Not a worry for me, dunno about the folks that were requesting
the build.

I found the definitions in /usr/include/inttypes.h, which also includes
/usr/include/sys/_inttypes.h:

http://www.bennyvision.com/projects/nagios/debug/inttypes.h
http://www.bennyvision.com/projects/nagios/debug/_inttypes.h

If these do not contain the information you need about the types in
HP-UX, please let me know more details, and I'll find them.

I wish I could, Stanley, but these are machines on my employer's
network.  And trust me, that's not going to happen.  :/
