Hello!

We have the following lines in include/SaHpi.h:

typedef unsigned char     SaHpiUint8T;
typedef unsigned short    SaHpiUint16T;
typedef unsigned int      SaHpiUint32T;
typedef signed char       SaHpiInt8T;
typedef signed short      SaHpiInt16T;
typedef signed int        SaHpiInt32T;

Also I suspect there can be marshalling issues, i.e. when
daemon on platform with sizeof(int) == 4 but library is not and vice versa.
