On Windows in SQLTypes we have:

typedef long SQLINTEGER;
typedef unsigned long SQLUINTEGER;

And

typedef long int SDWORD;
typedef unsigned long int UDWORD;

In this case I'd tend to go with Microsoft's definitions given that it's
their spec.

I do intend to work on porting psqlODBC to OSX in the not-to-distant
future, however it's not going to be right away I'm afraid, and for the
moment it will only be on Panther (which doesn't support Unicode ODBC).
