Perhaps you can ask Anders for help if you can't get the new w32api
package to install.

As for int64ShlMod2, it complains because it doesn't exist.

Let's say you have a LARGE_INTEGER and you now want to convert that to a 
64-bit integer (GCC supports ``long long'', equivalent to MSVC's __int64).
  
  LARGE_INTEGER li;
  unsigned long long l;

  /* fill up li with whatever. */

  l = ((unsigned long long) li.HighPart << 32) + ((unsigned) li.LowPart);
