Oh dear. The C++ back-end does actually support long long, but a new
check added after long long support was added did not realise that.

Note that long long is not supported for use with Anys, since adding
that would break binary compatibility in the 3.0.x libraries.

The following patch fixes it. It's in CVS.

Cheers,

Duncan.
