This was posted on the xcode list a while back by Quincey Morris:

"As suggested by Greg Parker on this list a couple of years ago, you can use

        %t… (%td, %to, %tu %tx, %tX) for unsigned results
        %z… (%zd, %zo, %zu %zx, %zX) for signed results

and these work on NS[U]Integer-sized variables on all platforms and    
architectures that are supported by Apple (without having to cast the 
parameters).”

They are documented in (all version I think) of the String Programming Guide.
