[Freeciv-Dev] PATCH: gint/gpointer casting in GTK+ client

[Ben Webb <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

        There are a lot of places in the GTK+ client where integer values
are cast to and from pointer values. This causes no problems on (for
example) an i386 Linux box, since sizeof(gint)=sizeof(gpointer). However,
this is not the case on my Alpha box. The GLib guys have already allowed
for this, however, and have provided GINT_TO_POINTER and GPOINTER_TO_INT
macros for supposedly "safe" casts. The attached patch replaces the
existing casts with the GLib macros, removing a LOT of redundant warnings
when compiling on an Alpha.

        The patch touches little code, so I don't see any reasonable
reason why it shouldn't be committed. Complaints?

        Ben
