Changing all occurrences of a text string is rarely a suitable method
of fixing issues like this - I'm not at all surprised that the package
failed to work. The sed pattern has also made a nonsense of the
copyright statements. e.g.

-# along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, 
+# aint32_t with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation,

Also, simply changing every long to an int is not particularly helpful
- some instances are going to need a long. The fix needs to be redone
from scratch to identify the instances where the program uses a long
but implicitly assumes that this particular long is 32bit. Your patch
doesn't actually help identify which occurrence(s) of long is/are the
ones to fix.

I'll work on a more sensible patch once I can find a Windows help file
that is easily accessible without having to download 16Mb of other data
or register etc.

Alternatively, post a direct link to a windows help file in the bug report.
