Because of the large precendence, if you change this stuff, you're
going to get tons of warnings on the platforms that use "unsigned
long" currently if you change them to use "unsigned long long".
Think about all of the implicit type conversions, argument passing,
et al.
I know because I tried to convert sparc64 over to "unsigned long long"
to make it more like powerpc, and I found quickly that fixing up all
the fallout simply was not worth it.
