It has long been part of the GNU coding standards to not bother to
worry about ints being narrower than 32 bits; see
<http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards_27.html#SEC27>.
This policy has saved me quite a bit of time over the years.
I cut my Unix teeth on a PDP-11/45, but I'm glad we've all outgrown them.
