Pointers can get cast to this type, so use uintptr_t.

I was getting this error on OpenBSD:

So this seems to require an integer type big enough to hold a pointer.

This is not quite right yet. I'll work on it.

Ok, and please request that these are merged into the Development branch, not the Master. Also, have you signed the Open Source Software Agreement? You can find details here. You are required to sign the OSSA before we can merge in your code.

Just to note, when I've been testing 64-bit linux builds, I change dsize_t to use size_t and all is well. I'm not quite sure the exact reason for the comment above the def, as size_t should behave properly for its uses. I'll try to get the 64 bit linux/unix stuff together.
