>Description:
	<limits.h> does not contain MAXINT. This definition still resides
	in <values.h> which is marked as depracated.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Try compiling an application which uses <values.h> as it requires
	MAXINT. When patched to use <limits.h> instead of <values.h>, it
	will not pick up the MAXINT definition, which is still in <values.h>.

	An example of such an application is GNU Font Editor (gfe).

>Fix:
	None. Over to include file maintainer?
