Added DW_POINTER_TO_(U)LONGLONG and DW_(U)LONGLONG_TO_POINTER macros. This allows casting with intermediate (u)intptr_t cast to avoid compiler warnings on different systems. Use these macros where necessary in the code. Might need to check the compiler supports LONG LONG... since some compilers we support might not, like old versions of VisualAge C and Watcom.

-- Special notes for version 3.0 --
Version 2.4 has started a transition to Unicode on OS/2. Warp 4 and 
later have fairly decent support for UTF-8 via codepage 1208, however 
there are some known input problems, which shall be worked around
in future versions.  For English or non-input applications Unicode
is the recommended version, however for applications that have not 
been converted to UTF-8 or which are experiencing input problems,
a non-Unicode version of the DLL is included.
