Uh, oh.  This was caused by a very embarassing bug: one of the central
bytecode routines to round to integers was buggy.

Since the fix (already in the git repository) considerably improves
the appearance of a lot of fonts, I'll soon do a new release of
ttfautohint.

Anyway, the central question remains: What to do if hinting might
exceed the usWin values (e.g. by using ttfautohint's -x option).
