In general, writing patches is like repairing holes in a plaster wall - 
the aim is to blend your patch in with what is already there so it's 
impossible to work out where the patch begins/ends without reading the 
SVN log.

Oh sorry - yes, you are correct, it is write_long(). Mainly for two 
reasons: 1) to preserve style and 2) ensure that cross-compilation works 
correctly.


ATB,
