dcopidl/DCOPRef integer types mismatch

[Lubos Lunak]

 Hello,

 create a dcop function with one of the multi-word integer types as argument 
(e.g. simply 'void foo(long)'), use dcopidl to generate the skel, use DCOPRef 
to call that function, and watch it not working at all. Interesting that 
nobody has yet noticed this.

 The problem is that dcopidl and DCOPRef (dcopTypeName()) disagree on the 
string representation of those types. The types used are (dcopidl/dcopref):

 int/int
 unsigned int/uint    (ugh)
 short int, unsigned short int/ <nothing, gets promoted>
 char/char
 unsigned char/uchar
 signed char/ <nothing>
 long int/long
 unsigned long int/ulong

 I already changed long to long int in dcopref, as I find that one obvious, 
but I'm not sure what to do with the rest, especially those ones like uchar. 
As I expect that changing those to match dcopidl would break all those lazy 
people's code, does somebody have any better idea that doing this matching in 
dcopserver (or should it be just ignored)?
