Summary: mapitags.PROP_TAG() doesn't account for new longs

Initial Comment:
Test case: 

>>> from win32com.mapi.mapitags import *
>>> PROP_TAG(PT_LONG, 0x8041)
2151743491L

Should be:
-2143223805L

or, alternately, the rest of the mapi interfaces should
know about unsigned ints.

For example, you could use this (awful hack):

def PROP_TAG(ulPropType,ulPropID):
	a = (ulPropID<<16)|(ulPropType)
        if ulPropID & 0x8000:
          a = int(-((a ^ 0xffffffff) + 1))
        return a


mostly posted here so i can google for it next time...
