Speaking of which ... the cocoa 'id' value uses int in the Java
bindings. Shouldn't that be long?

It would be great if the constructors of the NSxxx objects took an
'id' arg as well as a 'long' arg as that would make casting from one
to another much easier.

Yes, I filed a bug, and yes, it got closed as a duplicate of
'regenerate bindings' but I thought I'd mention the whole int-vs-long
thing here since we were talking 64 bit.
