I am *not* a C guru by any means, but the dregs of information I
gathered from the web seemed to say that the current ANSI/ISO C
Standard does not have fixed length data types and the current
working group has a proposal for the uint32_t family.

Since these aren't present in a standard location, they aren't
all that good of a solution for our 64bit support problem, so
Brian is going with the sizeof() checks solution instead.  We're
hoping those will work for all common 64bit platforms.

Of course they may very well fail on 128bit platforms, so anyone
wanting to talk TDS from their Dreamcast is out of luck.  :-)
