I dislike using %d for anything which is not written "int" or guaranteed
to be written "int" if you replace typedefs with #define's.  It cannot be
avoided in some cases.  This is C after all, and like you mention, on a
POSIXoid system.  I don't intend to fix the format stuff, I can't, but I
just wanted to note that there exist some inexplicit wrt typing formats
in that file that I was not intending to fix.

I soo enjoy the time recently I've spent with C# ;)
