Yes, MSVC is P64, which is dump per se but was probably dictated by 
compatibility reasons.

Yes, GCC is LP64 on 64-bit platforms, which is much nicer.

I don't want to change the whole API, only the few problematic places.  Which 
means degrading 'long' into 'int' for 32-bit data and providing a 64-bit 
type for 64-bit data.
