Good thinking!  It turns out all you have to do is comment
out the range check:

    def dump_int(self, value, write):
        # in case ints are > 32 bits
        ##if value > MAXINT or value < MININT:
        ##    raise OverflowError, "int exceeds XML-RPC limits"
        write("<value><int>")
        write(str(value))
        write("</int></value>\n")

Thanks,
Mark
