Well, if someone someday find a system wher ints are 64bit and void * are
32 bit ther is a posability to make gint = gint32 for these systems...

To my understanding glib - gtk - gnome is used cross-plattform and working.
The first hacker around to try a nonworking platform must fix this som way,
until then no-one probably want to put in hypotetical testes. That may be
wrong in theory but is good in practis (as hypotetical testes newer get
tested and therfor easely be buggy).

Can't it just be with this (before we got a flamewar ;-)?
