Hmm.  Why not port the code to the glib typedefs (e.g. guint32) instead?
While those typedefs are correct (AFAIK) on all the important platforms
that Linux runs on today, there's no guarantee that in the future e.g.
"int" will be 32 bits.  On such a platform the code will probably start
failing mysteriously.
