"long" is usually the same size as a pointer, if that's what you
want. That's what the comment says in m_pd.h.

The Ruby headers do it that way. So if that's your intent, I think t_int
should be defined as "long" pretty much everywhere, and then "%ld" used
instead of "%d".

Is there any code that really depends on
sizeof(t_int)==sizeof(void*) ? Is that comment in m_pd.h still relevant?
