Technically, a signed int is smaller than an unsigned int, so a value of
0x80000000 won't fit in an 'int'.

The !! stuff was because the function was returning a boolean value, so non-zero
== TRUE.  I don't think the return value from 'get' is a technically a boolean,
so I'm assuming that the spec says the return value should be 0 or 1, to reflect
the value of that GPIO pin.
