Yep. when you want to start cleaning code this may happen.
I am a C programmer but never looked at the code of crm411, but
from my experience with other code you may need a day or so
to clean up the code.
You know the code much better and developed it on a 32bit system
so maybe you can simply substitute all occurrences of 'unsigned long'
by uint32_t.
If not, then go through all the source and do it manually.
E.g. in vi ":%s/unsigned long/uint32_t/gc  (the c at the end tells vi
to ask a confirmation for each substitution).
