/**
 * We have an unfortunate problem in that, on Windows (both 32 and 64-bit), long is always 32-bit.
 * But on Linux (64-bit) long is 64-bit. Which leads to nasty situations where things that work
 * on Linux, fail on Windows.
 * So.....,
 * (1) introduce a typedef that will replace all usage of long in our codebase.
 * (2) to start with, that typedef acts that same as the long it replaces
 * (3) once the replacement is complete, this typedef will, on windows, become 64-bit.
 * (4) and once the fallout from (3) is fixed, we can start replacing tools::Long with things
 *     like sal_Int64.
