Done, mostly - I changed s/only to/only/ and installed it.

Because there is already an inttypes_h.m4 (and an inttypes.m4 & and
inttypes-pri.m4).  As I mentioned previously, merging _inttypes_h.m4
with inttypes_h.m4 and inttypes.m4 should be trivial (though it appears
that merging inttypes.m4 is going to require changes to the original in
gettext and thus may require more discussion), but I wanted to put this
off until a second patch for simplicity's sake.

If you say so.  I wasn't sure about the rules here.  <> is fine by me, I
wasn't sure it was appropriate for even a system header once the full
path had been substituted, but right now the documentation matches what
actually happens.

Looking over the C89 spec, I don't see why <> won't work (there are an
awful lot of "implementation defined"s in there, but <> should be okay,
AFAIKACT), so I've installed a fix for both.

Kinda.  I thought about something like this, but I don't want to depend
directly on $as_cr_letters since gl_HEADER_NAME should be known while
autoconf is running and so there is no need to delay its conversion to a
valid CPP macro name until sed can get a crack at it (while configure is
running).  You gave me the clue I needed to find the AS_TR_CPP macro
though, which I have installed to shorten the above a bit.
