Hi Mike,

As part of the configure process, bogofilter needs to identify the variable 
type that is an unsigned 32-bit integer.  Ideally, having found uint32_t 
the configure script could exit, as it knows what it needs to know.  I 
anticipate that Matthias, who is our configure expert, will be able to 
answer your question within a few hours.

As a question, what is in config.log?  Can you post the 20 or 30 lines that 
begin with "checking for unsigned short"?
