As I recall, "int" is 32 bit on all 64 bit targets (it should really  
have been 64 bit to be consistent with the "native integer size"), but  
"long" is 64 bit on GCC/UNIX and 32 bit in MSVC (for the boring reason  
that int used to be 16 bit in Win16 and so long was used to mean "32  
bit" in Win32, so all existing Windows code assumes long==32 bit). Not  
sure where that leaves MinGW, but I would expect it follows MSVC  
because of compatibility. There's probably a flag to change this.
