well, a preprocessor which can fix this would also help these other people, 
and not only that, but it would also help other projects which use 64 bit 
ints
no doubt it might be easier to hack one project by hand to get it working but 
it wont be easier to fix all existing projects then it is to write such a 
preprocessor

maybe (unsigned)-1 would work ...
