This is not the point.
The problem here is that neither "long long" nor "int64_t" nor "__int64_t" 
are portable across compilers, which means that we would have to use the 
same cruft as there currently is in vlc_common.h in the libvlc public 
headers, which is not very nice.
Although it is feasible as this is only a compiler dependent problem, thus 
allowing the use of the compiler defines to select which type name to use.
