allow long ints to be marshalled as ints - no check is made to the incoming
value, so the programmer will have to catch OverflowError. I'm not sure
what /F's perspective is on this. Perhaps it should be caught and mapped to
an xmlrpclib-specific exception. None of the other type-specific dump
methods seem to do any exception handling though.
