I have an Open Source Windows program I would like to port to
FreeBSD.  I tried compiling it 'as is' and, so far, it only trips up
on MS/Windows definitions, such as 'ulong'.  Is there a cross-check
list to find equivalent typedefs, defines, etc. between gcc and
Windows stuff?  Is there a software 'converter' of sorts, too?

While I don't know of any automagic converters, #including
<inttypes.h> will probably let you use portable type definitions even
from the Windows platform (they have inttypes.h now, don't they?).

No, they still don't.

How about the C standard <stdint.h> ?

No, not that one either (and both are standard C).

Some kind person has composed msvc-compatible stdint.h and inttypes.h
and made them available at http://code.google.com/p/msinttypes/
