[Mono-winforms-list] Two XplatUIX11 P/Invoke on 64bits system questiones.

[Matt Guo]

Oh, now I understand why.
According to gcc, "int" is always 32bits on both 32 and 64bits sys. "long"
is 32bits on 32 bits sys, and 64bits on 64bits sys. that's
compiler-specific, and if I use other compilers, such as  visual c++, the
result could be different.
