You could perhaps just use 'unsigned long' here, to avoid the ifdef.

Thanks.

And it would be nice if we could make libcrc32c use this too, rather
than just the 'crypto' users.

From previous discussing, herbert would like to transfer the libcrc32c 
interface by new crypto because there were few user using the current 
libcrc32c interface. 

Are we deprecating libcrc32c, then? Or just turning it into a wrapper
around the crypto code?

Either way, does it really make sense to force all crc32 users to pull
in the whole crypto framework? Some may get fractious about that...
