      Unfortunately, this is not OK in general, as *_MAX defines are required to 
be able to be used in preprocessor expressions, and casts are not always allowed 
in them.  ("The expression that controls conditional inclusion shall be an 
integer constant expression except that: it shall not contain a cast; ...")
      I tried it with GCC 4.4.7 and it works, but since the standard expressly 
forbids it, it probably is not good to do.

#define WCHAR_MAX ((wchar_t)-1)

#if WCHAR_MAX == -1
   #include <stdint.h>
  #else
   #error "!-1"
#endif
