In principle, gmorten is right about this.
On the other hand, glib uses gint64 directly in exactly the same
situation:

GIOError  g_io_channel_seek     (GIOChannel    *channel,
                                 gint64         offset, 
                                 GSeekType      type);

I'm uneasy about adding gratuitous differences.

Your call, Jody.
