I noticed that DIEInteger::BestForm used a cast to char:
If 'char' happens to be unsigned, this will not behave correctly. Then I also noticed that this code assumes the size of 'short' and 'int'.
This patch changes this code to use more precise types. No functional change should be visible on ordinary hosts.
