Correct.  There was once (long ago) a patch to introduce
functions to get/put signed ints, but it wasn't included
(maybe it wasn't good, I don't know).  A consistent/safe 
way of doing this would be nice.  

Currently individual entries do things like:
  if(packet->shield_surplus > 32767) packet->shield_surplus-=65536;
