I thought about that, but my kneejerk reaction was that the likelihood that a 
new architecture would come in without C11 support was low enough (and 
declining) that it didn't seem worth the trouble of adding a dependency on the 
longlong module.

But perhaps I'm underestimating how long Microsoft will take -- is that the main 
worry here?  If so, how about throwing ptrdiff_t and size_t into the mix 
instead?  That should catch the 64-bit Microsoft Windows platforms, without 
adding a dependency.
