There are two ways to approach this:
- define uintXX_t if necessary and just use them
- define CARDxx to uintXX_t or an integer type of the same size if they
don't exist.

The former approach is simpler, but makes it harder to recorrectly use
the headers as other parts might want to define the types as well.
