Very nice!  Please do some refinements so that we can incorporate
your patch more easily:

  . Use FT_MAKE_TAG instead of defining FT_Mac_Tag.

  . Use FT_READ_* instead of defining mac_get*.

  . Mark constants bigger than 0xFFFF with `L' (and probably with `U'
    if necessary).

  . Don't use tabs. :-)
