Many compilers/systems these days define types such as int8_t or INT8 etc.
I'm not up with the current ISO C standard, but maybe there are now size
specific types defined there that we can safely use? Alternatively, we would
need to define our own type names (NXINT8 etc.) and have these mapped to the
appropriate operating system types as part of the autoconf "configure"
process
