I think the mapping is pretty straight forward, with the exception of
char which may be signed or unsigned.

sint == signed int.  I chose to use that for uniformity.  I didn't want
an ffi_type_char because char may be signed or unsigned depending on
your environment.  So I decided to be explicit about each type name.
