The trouble is that IIRC __int64 is not supported by gcc as a
native/built-in type therefore you have to include "some" header
defining it.

Your patch is technically correct and should work with both gcc and msvc
compilers.

Another way (IMHO more compiler-portable) to handle this is:

43: #ifdef _DWIN64
44: typedef unsigned long long XID;
45: #else
46: typedef unsigned long XID;
47: #endif

Anyway, as mentioned by Curtis in his post, this should be patched in Tk
module.
