The "is<whatever>" macros take an int because they take a value from the
set returned by "getchar()" and "getc()", which is:
all values that fit in a single byte - 0x00 to 0xFF, on most C
platforms (there are probably still some PDP-10's and their
descendants, or Univac^H^H^Hsys 36-bit mainframes, with C
support on them, but I've yet to hear anybody express interest
in an Ethereal port to them...);
EOF, which is typically -1.
"unsigned char" values get converted to "int" (if necessary) in calls to
"is<whatever>", which converts 0x80-0xFF into 0x80-0xFF, so "guchar"
works in situations where EOF isn't one of the values (which it isn't in
this case).
