Works for me.  It doesn't cause any build warnings or dtest changes on 
i386, so I don't see a downside.  The only other option would be to add 
several static casts in lib/mystring.cpp, which would be uglier and 
wouldn't buy anything.

It's in svn now, but since 3.0.3 was just released, it's not enough to 
cause another release.  Average time between releases is a month, so I 
think you need to just patch your copy.
