But that would only be on Windows; I believe other vendors have a
64-bit long on 64-bit machines.

I suppose the pain wouldn't be any greater than the pain of turning
int into Py_ssize_t. Perhaps less so in Py3k since there the issue
that PyInt only holds a C long is solved (by equating it to PyLong :).
