Opps, Sorry. I'm a bit slow these days (lots of work).
So what do you need:

1) s64vector/u64vector-support for SRFI-4
2) A foreign type ìnt64/unsigned-int64

There are some minor troubles that make this not quite trivial
(it has to compile at least on gcc and msvc; and the handling of
those data types needs some special work when transforming
arguments/results to foreign code. A 64 bit integer would necessarily
be passed as a float, since I don't want to add another basic
numeric type - that would need a complete re-write of all
procedures that handle numbers)
