I don't think I recommend it and haven't tried it recently, but it appears
that it's possible.  See:

http://www.boost.org/doc/html/ptime.html

 ptime(const time_rep_type &);

I don't recommend it because of the obvious violation of encapsulation and the
fact that if you recompile with the 96 bit internal representation your code
will break.  Oh, and if you want it to be portable, you should use
boost::int64_t instead of __int64.
