Ah, yes: see the PRI* macros in <inttypes.h>.  (On Solaris this is in
<sys/int_fmtio.h>, which is sourced from <inttypes.h>.)  These are the
portable way (in C99) to embed integer formatters in printf()-like
formats.

Of primary interest: PRId8, PRId16, PRId32, PRId64; PRIu8, PRIu16,
PRIu32, PRIu64.  For example:

#if (SIZEOF_OFF_T == 8)
# define OFF_T_FMT PRId64
#else
# define OFF_T_FMT PRId32
#endif
    printf("The offset is %" OFF_T_FMT ".\n", offset);

Does mutt support < C99?  I don't remember.
