Currently euint32 is defined as an unsigned long, which will fail on 
some 64-bit platforms.  You may want to place a compile time 
assertion to validate the sizes, or at the least have a run-time 
validation in enet_initialize().

Also, enums are placed directly in structs.  Since the size of an 
enum is never guaranteed, this might cause potential problems if any 
of this stuff is serialized improperly or if, in the case of shared 
libraries, different compilers with different enum size rules are 
used for the caller and lib.
