Oh, geez, then we're both guilty of doing that 10 years ago. That's why I asked 
if this was even a real problem; 10 years and no complaints or issues about 
this area. (Pretty good track record, IMHO.)

Point. Should we compile avr-libc with -fshort-enums? That one is a useful 
flag. I know that -fpack-struct is a nop. And -funsigned-char just kind of 
levels the playing field for those users who aren't used to using <stdint.h>.
