  IIRC m$ decided to go with LLP64 model, meaning long stays 32bit.
Anyway i don't like neither of the choices, imho ILP64 would have
been the way to go...
  This no-guarantee-about-sizes-in-C thing begins to hurt nowadays ;)
Maybe it is really best to use special types like int_fast32_t
these times... (or role your own set of types to replace them
with the appropriate type depending on compiler and arch).
