Then just return the negative value.

This would be a different binary representation, which breaks binary
math, which people often do with IP addresses.

Returning -107373295 on x64 would make it consistent with x86.
But people might prefer 3221234342, in which case it could be returned
as a string.

So what are you requesting? That ip2long returns a string representation
of the
number, or a float? Of which value 3221234342 or -107373295?

I know perfectly well what an unsigned int is.
