Depends on your application.  For development, I *want* the smaller
and faster code that using 16-bit ints allows.  Manx with 16-bit
ints still generates code far smaller than on any 68000 compiler I
have run across, including the Sun and Greenhills compiler.
Also, Manx is a nice enough system that development on the machine
is less painful than downloading stuff to test.
