That I know of, nothing, but they would be useful down the line if you need
to have an arch-independent structure with a 64 bit size integer--like a
timestamp.

Sounds good to me, but I'd prefer 'htonq' and 'ntohq' to follow the existing
letter-based system.  (And #define them in netatalk to make the existing
code work.)
