well, I do not see the difference here: wint_t shall be defined in
wchar.h.

Except it is (on OS/X) defined in runetype.h and runetype.h is not
#included by wchar.h.  "self sufficient" means that this module:

#include <wchar.h>
int foo = 0;

will compile without error.  "I think" (without knowing for certain) that
this will compile on OS/X.  However, this module:

#include <wchar.h>
wint_t foo = 0;

will not.  But this latter is not a self-sufficiency test.  It is a standards
test. It fails that.  Therefore, a rigorous CHECK_WINT_T configury
test would need to automatically check for this runetype.h header
and use it if found to test for a system definition of wint_t.

The message which started this thread indicates that if you include
wchar.h alone, the compilation breaks.

Only in conjunction with using the wint_t type.

It seems that including runetype.h before wchar.h fixed that.
So it seems that wchar.h requires runetype.h.

wint_t requires runetype.h.  I do not think wchar.h needs it.  There
really is a difference, even if a bit subtle.
