It will not be done.

So will somebody step forward and create an inttypes emulation for MSVC
that can be used by more than just FFmpeg or will the MS crowd just
continue lobbying for the easy way out in vain?

I'm serious, will somebody provide a constructive solution or will there
be just more complaints?

We had a similar situation with Intel Mac support.  Michael stood firm and
rejected the hacky solutions until finally somebody came up with an
acceptable patch.  The inttypes issue will be no different.
