Following up on the idea Leo and I discussed this morning, here's a
patch that expects integer out parameters to be wrapped in some sort of
INTVALy PMCs.

This solves my problem rather nicely.

One test in t/pmc/nci.t needed patching and I added a test.

If this is acceptable, we should do the same for float and string out
parameters too.

Please note that this only affects integers passed to NCI subs via
pointers.
