I added a changeset which fixes the original problem, mind someone  
might want to do a Sunit to confirm all this, I won't even say this  
works
on intel. Thus taking the short integer of 16 bits with a bit pattern  
0xFFFF and asking for it's unsigned results in 65535, not a signed  
value of -1 which any novice can see would be wrong.

Can't say I'll comment on where the primitive should be be, or  
called, or invoked etc...  Or even if the users of this primitive  
asking for unsigned short won't now fall over and die... Mind I'll  
note that unsigned byte and unsigned long do the right thing and only  
an MacRGBColor, an FFI Type
