I presume casting to intmax_t will be the oficially blessed way of
printing typedefed things now? If so we should make gcc's format
warning code understand the %j modifier - maybe I should look into
that (or maybe some of the FreeBSD standards people are doing that?).

Is it apropriate to use intmax_t where you want to count something
big? For example, would it be OK to change wc and tcopy to use
intmax_t instead of the int64_t and quad_t which they currently
use?
