Actually there was a short timed version called oo2c_64.  Someone
asked me to port oo2c to a DEC Alpha running Linux.  Didn't work out,
the initial compiler stopped during module initialization with a bogus
floating point exception.  The project stopped right there, I couldn't
figure out was was going wrong.

64 bit integers are implemented as type HUGEINT.  The other types
aren't touched.  SYSTEM.ADDRESS is an alias for HUGEINT.
