It depends on whether you need arithmetic or not. If you do, use integer
constants, otherwise you can use an enum.

Include an appropriate {$packenum xxx} directive in your source code. There is
no {$packenum c} (I'm not even sure whether the C standard says anything about
the size of enums), so you'll have to check the size of those enumeration types
in C yourself.
