I mean no offense. But I'm a bit sick seeing this answer. Yes, we all
know that C++/98 doesn't have 64-bit integral types. But it is a matter
of fact that many of us have to deal with 64-bit integral types on a
daily basis.

I think we can only push boost to its full potential if it supports
64-bit integral types natively.

Just my 5 cents...

Cheers,

Freddie
