I have now implemented such a memory model. It should help to reduce the
portability effort to new 64-bit platforms. Thank you for the good suggestion!!

Which platform do you have in mind? I have only tested it on Linux/x86_64.

If you want to test it, check out the sources from the 'hg' repository and
simply add -DGENERIC64_HEAPCODES to the CFLAGS.
