fix go evt problem

Go vet reported a problem with the interface of WriteTo returning an
int.

  Line 13: method WriteTo(stream io.Writer) (int, error)
        should have signature WriteTo(io.Writer) (int64, error)

To fix that problem, the interface was changed to return io.WriterTo,
which uses int64 for return values.
