while your logic looked ok, you dont need to worry about it with gnulib.  not 
only does it provide atoll replacements, but it takes care of the configure 
tests and enabling it as needed as well.  your source code shouldnt need to 
change -- it can be written to assume atoll exists.  it's a pretty badass 
project.
