Type of USHRT_MAX

Hello,
according to the C standard, USHRT_MAX has type int (or unsigned int if
short and int have the same size). __GMP_USHRT_MAX has type unsigned
short. GMP sometimes defines USHRT_MAX as __GMP_USHRT_MAX, and always
assumes that USHRT_MAX has type unsigned short (in printf in particular).
This seems to only affect the testsuite, but it would still be nice to
fix (some compilers give warnings).
Should __GMP_USHRT_MAX be defined to ((unsigned int)current_definition)
and the 'h' in printf format strings removed, or should USHRT_MAX be cast
to (unsigned short) where needed? Or something else?
