Ok, so I still don't see his point.  Aren't intptr_t and uintptr_t 
"defined pointer-length types defined per platform" already?  Or aren't 
they C89 (or C90; whatever we are supposed to support, which we don't, 
which is another separate issue) compliant?  Maybe the issue is that the 
current code is 64-bit compliant, so we should just ignore the warnings?
