The compiler can choose any integer type of sufficient size to represent an 
enum. If we are solely concerned about future proofing w.r.t. the C calling 
convention, then we can revert this commit, set a dummy maximum value of any 
enum to, say 32767 (the minimum legal value for INT_MAX), and be done with it. 
I think that would be much better than your hackish proposal.
