I hope you don't mean redefining [u]int64_t from [u_]long to
[u_]long_long on 64-bit platforms? I violently oppose that.

Itanium already supports 128-bit atomic operations and I like
like to keep long long available for that...

Not to mention that PRIu64 is defined exactly for this issue,
so I would suggest that people get over their eye-of-beholder
objections and just use it (if casting to long long and sing
%llu is not an option)...
