Description:	The attached patch warns (at compile time) if you try to use anything other than an "unsigned int" variable to hold bit flags using the flag macros from utils.h. The warning is not very explicit, but the comments in utils.h will tell you what to expect and why you are seeing it, if you are. The patch also converts all existing uses of signed ints for flags into unsigned ints. Warning: it is heavy on "compiler tricks", but the comment I added in utils.h is accurate... it produces _zero_ additional object code, unless you compile at less than -O2. ****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ****** Disclaimer is on file.
