Hi all:

I have had some fun in my day job playing with exchanging 64bit  
numbers. Unfortunately
there is no ntohll() OR htonll() which would be the logical thing (for  
us old farts) to use.

Yes, I have found htobe64() and friends.. and that would work.. but I  
still cannot
help but feeling we should have the ntohll() and htonll().. for  
consistency if nothing
else.

Any objections to this showing up in a head near you soon (speak soon  
or I will commit
the patches to add these ;-D)

R
