ECL supports "long long" whenever the compiler allows it.

Regarding the other question, ECL just follows the C naming convention.
Expecting long, int, long long or any other integer type to have a certain
size is simply not right. If you want portable code for that, use uint*_t,
int*_t, the C99 integer types. In any other case, just use the types which
are specified by the C header -- autoconf might help for that.
