Maybe in Microsoft, but this is the cygwin list, and in cygwin, ints are
32 bits.  And until someone ports cygwin to a 64-bit version of Windows,
longs are also 32 bits.  Using uint32_t isolates you from whatever size
the underlying int or long are while guaranteeing 32-bit semantics; and
your code is buggy if it depends on the underlying type of uint32_t.
