If not then it's another of those compilers that tenatiously guards their stupidity.  Reinterpreting a negative number as an unsigned value results in a very large number on two's complement machines.  Are there any modern machines that don't use two's complement?

This is the last issue I have with this patch.
I'd say ship it if clang is happy with my initial cast suggestion.

> Not a 100% sure how to do this correctly. But assiging a negative value is problematic. Extending the enum in curl/curl.h is not possible either. I opted to use the enum last entry (CURL_LAST) which is currently not used for any thing. Another option would be to use one of the OBSOLETE VALUES like 16. Neither way is very nice though.
