[BioC] Problem installing affyio on Solaris 9 with R-2.6.2

This issue has been fixed in the development series (at 1.17.11). The
main problem being that stdint.h not being available on Solaris 9.
However, luckily there is another header file that provides the
equivalent information (inttypes.h).

I could patch the appropriate fix back to the release branch, though I
am reluctant to do so given it affects a limited number of users and the
next BioC release will be coming shortly.

Best,

Ben
