I don't think it's quite C89, but I'm not sure.

No, LUA_MAXUNSIGNED is (-0x8000000000000000) - I found the include
files don't define ULLONG_MAX, even though the compiler does in fact
support long long (both signed and unsigned).

I may be pushing the envelope a bit, trying to use 64-bit integers on a
system where the include files don't define limits for them.
