How to multiply two ints and check overflow

[Tim McDaniel]

The INT_MIN and INT_MAX #defines are there for non-pANS C sites;
they're inherently unportable.  If INT_MIN is #defined as
	(-2147483648)
it may not work (it may get the wrong type, according to Chris Torek).
INT_MIN may have to be #defined as
	(-2147483647 - 1)
or
        (0x80000000)
or even just
        (-2147483647)
if your compiler won't let you input -(2**32) and you're willing to
sacrifice the smallest int.  (INT_MIN and INT_MAX don't have to be
exact, or even close, for my safemul code to work.)
