I think either definition is fine. It should be at least as wide as a
wchar_t. stddef.h has wchar_t as "int" while curses.h defines wchar_t
(if it isn't defined in stddef.h) as "unsigned long".
The C standard says that wchar_t should be able to all members of thye
largest extended chracter set. AFAIK FreeBSD doesn't have any character
set which requires more than 8 bits.
wint_t should also be able to hold all members of the largest character
set plus one extra value (WEOF). Also it must be at least 16 bits.
