That's weird, since it's been part of the C standard for 7 years.  Are
the Microsoft Windows C compilers that far behind the times?  Or
perhaps they just need to set some compiler switch to make 'long long'
available?  Or can you just ask them to upgrade to a recent-enough
compiler?  I vaguely recall that if they use Visual C++.NET 2002 or
later, it should work.

The patch is not reasonable by itself, since it will cause a 32-bit
strtol to be used to implement what is supposed to be a 64-bit
strtoimax.  Hence you will get obscure errors at runtime if you use
that patch to defeat the compile-time checking.
