Rows indexed by shorts, can't parse file larger than 32767 rows. #26

Noticed that there is a segfault in xls_addCell when loading large files. Might there be an easy way to instead index rows with ints or longs? If not, maybe fail gracefully instead. Otherwise this parser is great! lmk if you cannot reproduce this behavior.

I haven't looked at this code in years. I suggest using "Analyze" to find incorrect index values (using short instead of unsigned short, etc). Or add some NSLogs(). I really won't have a chance to look at it until December. Its probably something really easy to catch if you spend an hour.

If you do find it let me know via code snippet or pull request.

I'll take a look at it and let you know if I find any quick fixes. Thanks.

As the person who took the C based library over, I went to great lengths to be sure indexes used unsigned shorts. But perhaps I missed something in the Objective C wrapper, or there could be something I missed in the library. I tested the library at one point with 60K rows and 256 columns.
