GUINTBIG_MAX in cpl_port.h needs explanation

Description

GUINTBIG_MAX could a comment to explain why the HAVE_LONG_LONG case uses a signed constant that is shifted left. Why are we using a signed value here? This was done in r31066. 

#if defined(WIN32) && defined(_MSC_VER)

#define GUINTBIG_MAX     (((GUIntBig)(0xFFFFFFFFU) << 32) | 0xFFFFFFFFU)

#elif HAVE_LONG_LONG

#define GUINTBIG_MAX     (((GUIntBig)(0xFFFFFFFF) << 32) | 0xFFFFFFFFU)
//                           ^ casting an signed value to unsigned?

#else

#define GUINTBIG_MAX     UINT_MAX

#endif

Good catch. More than an explanation, it needed a fix :

r33331 "Fix definition of GUINTBIG_MAX in HAVE_LONG_LONG case to use only unsigned constants (trunk only, #6348)"
