Yes, sort of. If you don't have all 32-bits, you can't play with RGBA colours
reliably. However, 24-bit RGB or less is fine.

To be really easy to interface to other languages, basically you have to stick
to the basic C types (ints, floats, strings). Otherwise pointers to opaque
data types are the best. Some interpreters let you reach inside structures,
but other times it's hard.
