Hello.

I am running on a 32 bit machine.

I need to pass SDL the unsigned long 0xff000000 as a mask.

  s = SDL::Surface.new_from(image_data, screen.w, screen.h, 32, screen.w*4,
                            0x00ff0000, 0x0000ff00, 0x000000ff, 0xff0000000)

fails with "bignum too big to convert into `unsigned long' (RangeError)"

which is very understandable, considering that Ruby uses the MSB of a VALUE
and thus Fixnums can only be 31bit on 32bit machines.

What's the best idiom to get the mask so I can pass it?

Thanks,

Aur
