The code in question dates back to when "long" was the longest integer

Today, intmax_t is the longest integer type. Perhaps most of the longs in zic.t should be changed to intmax_t.
Does Microsoft's MSVC (which is a C89 compiler) have support for intmax_t (and <stdint.h> or <inttypes.h>)? Does the TZ code have to work with Microsoft compilers?
The latest version supports <stdint.h>, but NOT inttypes.h or printf("%jd" [etc]). I am unsure whether it supports long long (the headers are still full of __int64), but it does support %lld.
I don't know what version these features were added in.
