Thanks Chuck.

I don't know if something got mangled in the email you saw, but the 
actual lines were:

/* MSVC compiler */
#ifndef _UINTPTR_T_DEFINED
#ifdef  _WIN64
typedef unsigned __int64    uintptr_t;
#else
typedef _W64 unsigned int   uintptr_t;
#endif
#define _UINTPTR_T_DEFINED
#endif

There were no comment delimiters after the #else statement.

pcap-stdinc.h is also the one of the standard distributed header files 
which I can't imagine should contain errors,
