Indeed that was my first idea, too. But note that Volker needed the
unsigned version and there things get messy, because

  typedef long long __int64;
  ...
  typedef unsigned __int64 ub8;

is illegal, so it would not have helped in this case.

Instead one could probably do

  #define __int64 long long

If this has no undesirable side effects, this could even be put on the
compiler command line or in the specs file.

so long, benny
