Summary: Pointer cast in tests/runtest.c

Initial Comment:
Expat 2.0.1
Under mingw-w64, which uses long long (not equal to long, which is 32-bit under Windows x64) for pointers:

line 1257: illegal cast to long. Should be something like long long or intptr_t for windows x64

I'm not sure about the rest of the line. If the value will not be used as a pointer anymore, the long=1+intptr_t is okay, but if the long value is used as pointer later, it will need to be adapted as well.

Howto build: configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 && make && make check
make check passes all tests.

PS: there's also a lot of warnings about gcc-deprecated casts of string constants to char* in gcc-4.4 and up
