Hi, Developers!

I can remember there was this question once before, but I don't remember
the answer.

What type can I use, defined on EVERY system, that is defined as a 32 bit
singed / unsigned int? 

What doesn't work is:

long / unsigned long   : seems to be 64 bit on DEC alpha
int / unsigned int     : can be 16 bit on some systems
int32_t, u_int32_t     : isn't defined on many systems (e.g. SunOS)
__u32                  : the only system I found was Linux :-)

Is there anything else I could use? Please HELP!!!! :-)

If there is nothing like that, could someone please extend configure to
define a correct type? (Or has someone done that already?)
