This adds NO_UINTMAX_T for ancient systems. If NO_UINTMAX_T is defined, then
uintmax_t is defined as uint32_t. This adds a test to configure.ac for
uintmax_t and adds a check to the Makefile for FreeBSD 4.9-SECURITY.

I have a stupid question.

Would it be a more appropriate improvement to do it like this:

	ifdef USE_THIS_AS_UINTMAX_T
            BASIC_CFLAGS += -Duintmax_t="$(USE_THIS_AS_UINTMAX_T)"
        endif

and then add a section for FreeBSD 4.9-SECURITY like this:

	ifeq ($(uname_R),4.9-SECURITY)
        	USE_THIS_AS_UINTMAX_T = uint32_t
	endif

That way, an oddball 64-bit machine can use uint64_t here if it wants to,
possibly including FreeBSD 4.9-SECURITY backported to 64-bit ;-).
