I use MSVC++ 6.0. Anyone can fix this 64-bit stuff?
A bit of Googling found some wxWindows source that seems to imply that with VC++ and, at least, newer versions of Borland C, the suffix used for a 64-bit integer constant is "i64". 

wxWindows (or, at least, the version I found) has macros

	#define wxMakeLongLong(x, s)	x ## s
	#define wxMakeLongLong2(x, s)	wxMakeLongLong(x, s)
	#define wxLL(x)			wxMakeLongLong2(x, wxLongLongSuffix)
where wxLongLongSuffix is defined as ll on compilers with "long long" and as i64 on MSVC++ and Borland C. 

We should probably do something similar.
