I'd personally prefer to allow compilers that are C89 compliant (provided that some sort of 64-bit integer is supported) to work with this code, if possible, rather than requiring full C99 support.

I'll second that. Very few full C99 environments actually exist yet. I just now ran into a bug with Sun's current compiler; it mishandles wider-than-32-bit integers in preprocessor expressions when it is running on 32-bit sparc, because the compiler doesn't support that part of C99 correctly yet. GCC doesn't claim full C99 support yet either.
