Change subject: bitvec: bitvec_get_uint() should return an unsigned int
......................................................................


Patch Set 2: Code-Review-1

as the (likey?) orignal author of the code, I would say the function does 
exactly what it is supposed to do: parse input as unsigned integer and return 
it, just as long as it is below the maximum of a signed integer.  return 
negative in case of error.

If there is anything to change, then it could be bounds checking, i.e. ASSERT 
that the caller doesn't pass num_bits leading to potential overflows of INT_MAX.
