Both functions and macros are syntactically ugly and verbose, so I'd 
choose macros for performance.

Anyway, I'd still investigate under what circumstances there is no 64 
bit basic type. I know that extreme portability is important in this 
library, but before writing ugly code with PDF_SET_INT64 alikes I'd try 
to see if it is worth the effort.

As of a library I know of its high portability, SDL implements it like 
this: http://svn.libsdl.org/branches/SDL-1.2/include/SDL_stdinc.h. I 
still don't know if Uint64 would work correctly if SDL_HAS_64BIT_TYPE is 
not defined...
