As said in a previous post, in reply to Sven Neumann, these macros were
left-overs that have been cleaned. Note however that the current version
of "ftconfig.h" does a "#include <limits.h>" to get the value of ULONG_MAX,
etc.., in order to determine the typedefs for FT_Int32/FT_UInt32..

Given that <limits.h> is a standard file, I don't think we should remove
it from this public file. However, I'd appreciate any comments on this
specific issue..

Cheers,
