that would be easy.
sed scripts for "long"=>"int32", "unsigned long" => "u_int32".

the problem is that there are going to be places where a true long is needed.
Also, after the switch, someone that knows what they're doing would need to test 
everything to make sure it still works.  It could introduce subtle (perhaps 
platform-specific) problems.
