Yep, I noticed that. Smart done, I like it and it seems to work correctly.
The issue is that I need to do it explicitely in the exported gnokii.h
header -- we don't have possibility to check for header there, so I need
to assume something.

But at the moment I'm considering Ladis idea. unsigned int type is always
at least as wide as uint8_t. So using unsigned int should cause no harm
and the compiler should do the work. Can anyone see the weakness of the
idea? I have not yet made any tests.
