Because the big boy that doesn't want to play C99 is MS; they have
said that they really aren't interested in C that much.

However, 'long long' is definitely supported in the latest MSVC
compiler - it used to be something like _int64.  Portable code is
often a mess of #ifs for a reason ;)

Hmm, but MSVC isn't the only compiler for Windows...
