  Revision 1.17  2000/12/07 17:19:43  jonas
    * new constant handling: from now on, hex constants >$7fffffff are
      parsed as unsigned constants (otherwise, $80000000 got sign extended
      and became $ffffffff80000000), all constants in the longint range
      become longints, all constants >$7fffffff and <=cardinal($ffffffff)
      are cardinals and the rest are int64's.
    * added lots of longint typecast to prevent range check errors in the
      compiler and rtl
    * type casts of symbolic ordinal constants are now preserved
    * fixed bug where the original resulttype.def wasn't restored correctly
      after doing a 64bit rangecheck
