   Honestly, this sounds like premature optimization to me. I would just   
   store the 64bit integers directly. Have you measured the difference in   
   running time and/or memory footprint to be sure that this is actually   
   worth doing? I personally would not believe so, but if, then this sounds   
   more like a job for autoconf than for the compiler.
