Bug in mlnlffigen on Win64 (bad size for 'long')

Hi,

I just noticed that 'mlnlffigen' generated wrong data on Win64 for the C type 'long'.

On Win64, a 'long' is 32 bits but 'mlnlffigen' always assumes 64 bits for the 'amd64' processor. It uses a file sizes-amd64.sml which is not automatically generated and whose behaviour does not depend on the operating system.

I fixed the issue in my personal build by adding a file sizes-amd64-mingw.sml and referencing it rather than sizes-amd64.sml in control.sml when the target is Win64.

Anyway, it seems that this file was automatically generated in the original (SML/NJ) version so I guess a more robust fix could be implemented.

Regards

Nicolas
