Yeah, that is what I was trying to get at, but you stated it much more
clearly. LONG_IS_64BIT is good. I wonder if the "git version
--build-options" should be "sizeof-long", too. It's shorter, and
indicates our assumption that we are talking about all longs, not just
unsigned ones.

OK, I'll do a final reroll and then wait for Europeans ;-)

Don't let me stand in the way of progress.

I would have preferred two separate prereqs, of course, for the same
reason we use time_t and off_t: I find it better to describe what the
prereq is about, and I do not mean implementation details here.

But that does not matter all that much. We will have to address the issues
anyway, and at that point that wart will be removed and we will all go on
with our lives.

So what are your plans with 2.9.2? I ask because I do not want to engineer
a 2.9.1 release just to see that 2.9.2 is out and having to spend the same
amount of time for another release ;-)

Ciao,
Dscho
