I like to be safe, so I always encode <= 0 when I want to check for
positive values. What if CountBits is modified and stops working
properly and spits out a negative value? I'd prefer to return 0 here
than hit a segfault.
An argument could be made that CountBits should return an unsigned int.
If no one objects, I'll make that modification and then make this check
== 0.

If it's not a problem, I'll just change the cast to (int *) in the
patch.

I actually use CountBits in the evdev masked valuators patch, and I
think it's a generally useful function to export.
ValuatorRangeToMask probably can be internal only. I'll fix that up.
