I don't know of a portable way to do this either.  My Rush Hour
(www.puzzles.com) software has "#if defined"s like crazy for all of the annoying
cases, e.g.

/* MSVC 6.0 */
typedef unsigned __int64 bitboard;
const bitboard outside_edge = 0xFF818181818181FF;

/* SGI MIPSpro 7.2.1 (with -64 switch) */
typedef unsigned long bitboard;
const bitboard outside_edge = 0xFF818181818181FF;

/* g++ 2.7.2 */
typedef unsigned long long bitboard;
const bitboard outside_edge = 0xFF818181818181FFll;

Of the three, I like SGI's setup the best.
