In original avifile win32 loader sources this was so, but in MPlayer
A'rpi changed ULONG and DWORD from long to int, because of some non-x86
platform trouble. I'm almost done working on a patch that reverses this
and introduces changes that A'rpi himself wanted to do.

Changes to loader/ are minimal.
