I would suggest an alternate version:

void G_rotate_around_point(double X0, double Y0, double *X1, double *Y1, double angle)
{
	double dx = *X1 - X0;
	double dy = *X1 - X0;
	double c = cos(D2R(angle));
	double s = sin(D2R(angle));
	double dx1 = dx * c - dy * s;
	double dy1 = dx * s + dy * c;

	*X1 = X0 + dx1;
	*Y1 = Y0 + dy1;
}

Differences:

1. Uses double for coordinates instead of int.
2. Doesn't have a singularity at (X0,Y0) (atan2(0,0) may return NaN in
some implementations).
3. "void" return type; functions returning a meaningless "int" is
usually a hold-over from pre-ANSI C.
