There are no bit-size standards.  If you need such standards, you need
to make them up yourself, either using #ifdefs or a configure-style
program that uses sizeof() to detect the size of each type and build a
.h file accordingly.

I've seen machines where char, short, and long are all 32 bits.  I've
seen machines where int and long are 64 bits.
