Ops, obviously it should have been s@\(int\)@(intptr_t)@. Sorry about 
that, I'll resend the patch series.

(The option struct in parse_options.h uses intptr_t for the default 
value of an option, thus a normal const char * would make the compiler 
complain (verified with both Windows MinGW 3.4.5 and Linux GCC 4.1.2))

BTW, which compiler version are you using?
