;;; Of course there's always the brute-force solution:
;;;
;;; if (strcmp(ptr, "-9223372036854775808") == 0)
;;; return -9223372036854775808;
;;; else
;;; <<proceed with int8in>>
;;;
;;; (modulo some #ifdef hacking to attach the correct L or LL suffix to the
;;; constant, but you get the idea)
;;;
;;; This qualifies as pretty durn ugly, but might indeed be more portable
;;; than any other alternative. Comments?

I made a new patch. Toward zero fault is fixed.
