Yesyes! Now yer getting there!

Actually the sources are shared for other multiplatform applications,
those applications don't use gtk/gdk/glib and don't have glib available on
some platforms.

Let me ask you this then, does it mean that Solaris has variable data type
sizes? Does it mean that Solaris may have a 3 bit int while another has a
2.5 bit int?  I doubt Solaris does anything this silly... so it means
Solaris musthave somewhere, a defination for u_int8_t or a similar named
defination that is standard amoung Solarisis (not glib).

That's what we could use instead in manedit.
