Fix 64bit crashes on Windows when building with Visual Studio 2012.
LPARAM in 32bit mode is LONG, but in 64bit mode it is uint64...
There were casts to LONG in several places that were getting truncated
with the new version of the compiler (but not gcc or older versions).

This is a pre-release of Dynamic Windows version 2.5. The current Dynamic Windows source base is considered stable on: OS/2, Mac, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris. Known problems: Boxes with no expandable items will have their contents centered on GTK2 instead of top or left justified on the other platforms. GTK3 due to changes in the core architecture does not support widgets that are smaller than what is contained within them unless they use scrolled windows. GTK2 and other platforms do. In Unicode mode on OS/2 there are some bugs in the input controls, minor bugs in entryfield based controls and major bugs in the MLE. The text displays properly but the cursor and selection jumps around oddly when passing over multibyte characters. Known limitations: It is not safe on all platforms to operate on widgets before they are packed. For portability pack widgets before operating on them. Future features: OS/2 is currently missing the HTML widget because the system does not support it by default. Looking into importing functionality from available libraries (Firefox, Webkit, Qt, etc). Changes from version 2.4: Added dw_window_set_focus() to focus a widget after the window is shown. Added DW_FCF_TEXTURED flag on Mac, which enables textured backgrounds which had been the default on Mac prior to 2.5. Added keyboard support for non-entryfield controls on Mac. Added tab support for notebook controls on Windows and OS/2 and in the process rewrote and optimized the existing tab code. Fixed tab support for bitmap buttons which broke in 2.4 on Windows. Fixed a notebook crash early in creation on Mac. Fixed unusable scrollbars on Ubuntu Linux when overlay scrollbars are enabled. We now disable overlay scrollbars when creating. Fixed dw_window_function() not working on non-toplevel windows on Windows and OS/2.
