Replace INT32 with a new internal datatype (JLONG) These days, INT32 is a commonly-defined datatype in system headers. We cannot eliminate the definition of that datatype from jmorecfg.h, since the INT32 typedef has technically been part of the libjpeg API since version 5 (1994.) However, using INT32 internally is risky, because the inclusion of a particular header (Xmd.h, for instance) could change the definition of INT32 from long to int on 64-bit platforms and thus change the internal behavior of libjpeg-turbo in unexpected ways (for instance, failing to correctly set __INT32_IS_ACTUALLY_LONG to match the INT32 typedef-- perhaps as a result of including the wrong version of jpeglib.h-- could cause libjpeg-turbo to produce incorrect results.) The library has always been built in environments in which INT32 is effectively long (on Windows, long is always 32-bit, so effectively it's the same as int), so it makes sense to turn INT32 into an explicitly long datatype. This ensures that libjpeg-turbo will always behave consistently, regardless of the headers included at compile time. Addresses a concern expressed in #26.
