CK_ULONG considered harmful?

However as this isn't a v2.40 topic I suggest we save the real debate (and associated polls) for after we lock down the v2.40 work.
Changing CK_ULONG isn't within the scope of v2.40 as I understand the consensus from the face to face discussions.
If there are disagreements on what should or should not be in scope for v2.40 then we should have a straw poll to settle that issue.
I agree, this is too dangerous to attempt to fix in v2.40.
I still agree with Darren, we should fix this in 3.* by using explicit types (uint32_t, uint64_t, etc) Bob, can we set up a wiki with "Tabled" items for 3.*?
I don't want these to be forgotten.
