Unfortunately, msys doesn't support %z:

== read zu (0x0000000zx) bytes (database header)

I see two solutions: (1) #ifdefs in some manner -- e.g. incode, or a
top-of-file defining the string to use for size_t arguments (decimal and
hex) or (2) use a temporary variable of type unsigned long long, and
assign the result of the sizeof() computation to that var, and then use
%llu or %llx.

Which approach do you think is better?
