Actually, upon further review, it seems I'm wrong again (geez, big
shock...I seem to be wrong alot today). It's not the compiler
misinterpreting at all. It seems that it just doesn't like the cast (and
for good reason....it shouldn't work at all according to standards). I
substituted an integer for the quote (I used 999) and it worked fine. I
also removed the ampersand from another line and got the same error that
it was throwing before. In short, until the menus are implemented more
properly, I don't think we'll ever get this compiled on Alpha.

I guess now's the time to figure out how it worked :-) It seems that some
back-end assumptions were being made on the i386-compiled code, but the
Alpha compiler must be more picky about making such assumptions. Either
that or the GTK code itself somehow behaves slightly differently on
certain archs.

They're not bad if you get them on eBay. I built a nice 164SX 533MHz
machine for a hair over $500 (I did have a nice SCSI hard drive
already,though, which saved me some $$$).
