I can't think of a better way to salvage printf(), 
especially if something like TYPE_T_F was adopted in the 
headers as a standard (if appropriate). 

I would make that a little bit more flexible by leaving 
out the '%' to allow for more modifiers: 

   #if sizeof(type_t)==sizeof(long)
   #define TYPE_T_F "ld"
   #elif
   #define TYPE_T_F "d"
   #endif

to allow for some craziness like: 

   printf("%-10.5" TYPE_T_F "...",ts.tv_sec);
