Yes.  I agree there needs to be a better way.  The problem I have is that 
the H8300s has 16-bit int and 16-bit pointers.  There's no way the large 
structure defined in remote.c can fit so gcc spews a bunch of errors when 
compiling.  There existed a mechanism already in remote.c to handle this, 
so I just extended it to the h8300.

Whatever the solution, it has to be done in the preprocessor.  Perhaps 
checking to see how big MAXINT is defined to be?
