My initial reaction was to create a PRIuMAX8. However, inttypes.h in C99 already defines PRIuMAX without the leading %.

And in hindsight I see PRIuMAX is only defined in binkd's sys.h only for pre-C99 versions of MSVC.

So for compatibility with inttypes.h it's best to leave sys.h alone and just hunt for missing % characters in the *.c files (unfortunately).

Normally modern compilers (gcc/clang) are good at flagging printf() format bugs as they're fairly common, so it's strange they are not doing it here, despite building with $(CC) -Wall.
