so is "u_longlong_t" actually an ANSI-specified type?
if not, we should remove the comment that says that it is.
if it's supposed to be defined as "unsigned long long",
then we should change the header so that it is.

actually if this type isn't specified by any standard,
it may be best to just remove it.
