Since on every other modern sane platform out there sizeof(long)=sizeof(int)
anyway wouldn't this be a fairly clean change?

Nuking all of the longs from the codebase made it about 10% faster for me on
PS2, although if I could figure out the one magic place that was using longs
for integer division that would certainly be less intrusive.  At first I
thought it might be window.c, but that wasn't it.
