I've found that the trick to port these applications is to build your app in 4-byte int mode (instead of the default 2-byte int mode). I had to make another encryption library work, that's the trick I used, no code changes required.
(And before anyone asks that code was owned by my employer and is not freely distributable. Sorry.)
