Thomas uses autoconf 2.13; I use 2.59. In 2.13 AC_CHECK_TYPES does not
exist. The (now deprecated) macro AC_CHECK_TYPE does exist. So I'd
suggest either a) switching to 2.5x or b) taking a deep breath,
reading
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.57/html_node/autoconf_154.html#IDX875
and stating

  AC_CHECK_TYPE(int64_t, long long)

And compile with -DHAVE_INT64_T (or do AC_DEFINE(HAVE_INT64_T) if that
is possible in autoconf 2.13)
