For things like 32-bit variables in networking code, I think that
explicitly-sized storage is the way to go (I'll commit src/sys/netinet/in.h
with a change like that soon). There are many things where I don't
mean them to stay that way necessarily (meaning I don't care - like
termios), but I need to be consistent with what the NetBSD kernel expects.
Bruce tends to react badly to almost every one of these. 8-(
