I ran your changes through the Win32 regression tests and they worked 
on all the usual compilers.

I notice you used old-style casts rather than static_cast<>.  Was 
that because GCC doesn't handle static_cast<> correctly?  (I tried 
it, and it worked for the other compilers but failed for GCC with an 
error message indicating lack of some static_cast<> support.)

Anyhow, should you add a comment indicating why you are using old 
style casts?
