According to the third edition of Stroustrup, an enum should be an
integral data type of at least the size required to store the range of
values.  An enum with the range 1..9 should therefore have the size required
to store the values 0..15.  (All the values of 0..15 can then be used,
legally, with that enum.)

However, you can always convert this by assignment, or by saying
int(enum-value).

An enum does not have to fit in an integer - it might have the size that
requires a long or even a long long.

I cannot help you with the header file conflicts, as I don't know which
is right.
