C99 explicitly says that any intN_t is an optional type[0].  E.g.,
a 96-bit system may choose not to provide int64_t if none of its
basic C types is 64 bits wide.  fts(3) is a purely userland library
which need not depend on a particular platform[1], so I did my best
to avoid any assumptions like, `There will never be a 96-bit system
around.'

[0] In my copy of N869 Draft it's in section 7.18.1.1, paragraph 3.
[1] Unfortunately, a lot of nonportability has crept into our
    implementation of it.
