Instead of being empty, shouldn't the Include: section look like this?
Otherwise, SIZE_MAX won't be defined on some platforms.

  #include <limits.h>
  #if HAVE_STDINT_H
  #include <stdint.h>
  #endif

Admittedly this is a bit of a hassle.  Perhaps we should add
a new file lib/size_max.h that contains the above code?

There's no LGPL'ed code in the proposed module.  It's licensed under
these terms:

   This file is free software; the Free Software Foundation
   gives unlimited permission to copy and/or distribute it,
   with or without modifications, as long as this notice is preserved.

How about if we change the "License:" field to read "Preserve-notice",
or something nice little phrase like that?

Or, if we add a new file lib/size_max.h along the lines suggested
above, then perhaps we can just keep it LGPLed.  That might be simpler
than adding a new value to the License: field.

Shouldn't Bruno be the maintainer?  He wrote all the code.
(Unless "Maintainer" means "maintainer of the module file" ....)
