I considered asking about this before, as it would give '64-bit power' to Win64 integers. It's a rather big change, though (lots of code assumes PyInts fit in signed longs, which would be untrue then.)
On the other hand, if a separate type was used for PyInts (Py_pyint_t or whatever, defaulting to long, except on LLP64 systems), EWT's request for a 64-bit integer represented by C 'long long's would be a simple configure switch.
