[Spread-users] Configure script

[Yair Amir]

Hi,

If I recall correctly, I built Spread in cygwin in the past and
it worked for me with no memorable problems from within that environment.

Cheers,

	:) Yair.

The long long type, in particular, may or may not exist depending on your compiler. If it does exist, then you can simply change that #undef to be #define SIZEOF_LONG_LONG 8 and that should fix your issue. Otherwise, you need to change the conditional compile test and definition of stduint64 and stdint64 to the appropriate 64b type of your environment.
