OK, thanks, anyway. (Although I'm quite not happy with that, because some 
projects seem to heavily depend on that :( - and also on that the 
sizeof(void*) == sizeof(unsigned int), which actually makes the difference 
between 'int' and 'unsigned int' disappear in pointer arithmetics. 
Unfortunatelly on x86_64 this condition is false and that breaks a lot of 
projects (such as xvid, mplayer, ...).)
