Just an FYI:

A pointer and long should always have the same size on all Unix variants, we 
use lp64:
http://www.unix.org/whitepapers/64bit.html

So long should be 32 bit on 32 bit platforms, and 64 bit on 64 bit platforms.  
Int should always be 32 bit, and yes that is covered by a standard and you 
can rely on it.

Windows is insane of course, but at least they have an excuse:
