  Hi again Volger. New weekend, again doing some work on lightning.

  I had applied your patches from last week to lightning, and only
after pushing I noticed you had rediffed and resent it :(
  I resynchronized it manually, so, sourcewise should be the same.

  Please make extra tests using
https://github.com/pcpa/smalltalk/commit/409adb104319852a540ce9eec672cae73fb72cc8

  It should be a good idea to make as much as possible tests with
integers larger than 32 bit but that fits in 64 bit, to make sure there
are no remaining code paths assuming 32 bit.

  If we find it is good enough, I can make a formal patch, but would
be happy enough if you just add a note about my help, and you
can adjust the diff of the scratch-lightning-branch branch :)

  Once we are happy, I will make a lightning 2.0.6 release, that
has the features added to allow making GNU Smalltalk work
with lightning 2. Checking for the pkgconfig file should be
enough when using a system lightning, some version info or
test can also be done, but, well, if it is lightning 2.0.5 or
older it will just not build...

Thanks,
Paulo
