a few comments.

- i think you have to add some more comments in uint.c file and maybe
a header indicating this is part of the postgresql project or that is
intended to use with postgres or something of the like

- what is uint1? i know int, int2, int4, int8 so i think we should
have uint, uint2, uint4 (maybe uint8?)

seems there is something wrong in the unlikely macro (i'm using GCC
4.2.3 in Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7 with amd64)

postgres=# select -256::uint1;
ERROR:  uint1 out of range
STATEMENT:  select -256::uint1;
ERROR:  uint1 out of range
postgres=# select -255::uint1;
 ?column?
----------
     -255
(1 row)

postgres=# select -2::uint1;
 ?column?
----------
       -2
(1 row)

postgres=# select -5::uint1 + 30::uint1;
 ?column?
----------
       25
(1 row)

the Makefile doesn't work here... i have installed postgres 8.3.3 from
ubuntu package and the test env i compile manually (the uint module
tried to install in the ubuntu location while it should in the env
location)

attached a Makefile that fix that

i still have to make some more test...
