64-bit ints for array indexing

[Luke Sjulson]

hello,

I'm running octave 2.1.52 in 64-bit mode on an opteron running linux, 
and I ran into the limitation of not being able to work with arrays 
containing more than 2^31 elements, which is apparently because octave 
uses 32 bit ints for array indexing.  There was a simple workaround, 
but I was wondering: has anyone compiled a version of octave that uses 
long ints for array indexing?  Which files would I have to be modified? 
 Are there any plans to incorporate this into future releases of 
octave?

thanks a lot,

Luke
