Switch "int" to "int32_t" to prepare against future compiler changes.
If that really happens a lot of things would break, so I don't really see the point. It also changes types like char whose size won't ever change. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
