At my local Oregon State University (OSU) they teach the kids a lot on
Atmel. You can do a lot with a small Atmel CPU. Then those kids go
to big commpanies and just reuse what they learned.
If NTPsec decides they can not support that size, then the deprecation
should be very explicit. Right now NTPsec just askes for C99 and
POSIX-2001.

Then int_least32_t or int_fast32_t should be used. I hate spending time
trying to unravel how big a variable must be to work in all cases.
