actually the correct thing is to use c_long and c_ulong for that, c long on 64 bit platform is 64 bit...

I think that typically long should have the same size as a pointer, I even think that something along these lines is in the standard, but I am not 100% sure.

anyway D c_long should correspond to c long. tango defines it in tango.stdc.config, phobos probably in std.c.config (or something similar I did not check)
