What about to define dbus_uid_t and dbus_gid_t platform independent and 
to use this type in any function.

/** A user ID */
typedef struct {
    unsigned long uid;
    char *_uid;
} dbus_uid_t;

/** A group ID */
typedef struct {
    unsigned long gid;
    char *_gid;
} dbus_gid_t;


Internal the related struct member could be used as needed.  The types 
could later be rename to DBusUser or similar to be in the regular naming 
scheme.
