These should go and be replaced by UT_Xint32 where X is either 'u' for
unsigned or 's' for signed. BTW, I don't think that the 'g' is any less
ANSI-compatible than our "UT_" stuff. Actually, IIRC, all ANSI says is that:
sizeof(char) <= sizeof(short) <= sizeof(int) <= sizeof(long)
gints (and gint32, gint16, etc..) *insure* the size of their datatype. gint
is *always* 32 bits. All ANSI says is that an int is at least as big as a
char, which means that your ints may be 8 bits (ick). Try this on a 16-bit
palm pilot... So the correct solution here is to use our UT typedefs and
#defines.
