Problem is: on 32bit systems (like the ones I'm using), my patch is really a noop since it just changes some `int's to `EMACS_INT' but EMACS_INT is #defined to `int' anyway on those systems. So if someone could try it out on a 64bit system... (a comparison of `gcc -Wall' output before and after the patch might be helpful, although I doubt it).
