The Palm types, as defined in the 3.5 and later SDK, will remain the
same size when Palm migrates to ARM. An Int16 will always be 16-bits.
However, plain int will change from 16-bits to 32-bits, so code that
uses it and can't handle the size change will break.
There is NO advantage to keep the old pre-3.5 SDK types. Any new
software really should be written to either the 3.5 or 4.0 SDKs.
