If I might make a humble contribution...
I was going to attach two headers (ConditionalMacros.h and MacTypes.h)
from Apple's Universal Headers since I have found them invaluable, and
usually include them in all my projects, including ones that I am trying
to port (like OpenSSL and Crypto++). It does a great job of determining
data sizes on a variety of platforms. Unfortunately, I have to check
licensing issues regarding redistribution because they does not fall
under Apple's "Darwin" public source license. (I think it will be OK, but
I'd rather not get fired over something stupid, you know?)
In the interim, I am including OSHeaders.h from the QuickTime Streaming
Server source which handles four platforms, and defines the same types
defined in MacTypes.h.
