direct conversion from int64_t

[Atze Dijkstra]

Hi,

I'd like to convert a int64_t directly to an mpz. As far as I can tell  
function 'mpz_set_si' is the most direct way to do this, but the  
'signed long int' parameter turns out to be 32 bits only (MacOSX  
10.5.6). Is there any way to directly convert a 64 bits value without  
splitting a 64 bits value into a most + least significant part,  
building separates mpz for these parts and shifting + multiplying  
these (or do 2 to+from string conversions...)? Am I overlooking  
alternatives to mpz_set_si, or is conversion from/to 64 bits values  
not supported on 32 bit platforms?.

thanks in advance,

                 - Atze -
