Thanks.
So I suggest that the configure script should check for the existance
of these types, and define them if they don't already exist.
(And/or define a suitable token to indicate if 64-bit types are not
 supportable at all).
 

RS> Though I'm not sure we'd need explicit 64 bit types.

'Cos if we don't define them now, we're bound to run into a need for
them in the future!  Surely it's better to think ahead, and tackle
this properly in the first place?

I'd suggest that we get this in place ASAP,
and then worry about how best to make use of it later.
