jkl,

I've decided to use long longs - seems fine to me so far. That's all a money
type is ( with 4 implicit decimal places ).

I've typedef'd TDS_MONEY as a long long
and typedef'd CS_MONEY to be TDS_MONEY, and it all falls into place.

the only risk is what to do if long longs are not supported...
I'm a bit worried about the autoconf stuff. I know nada about that, but I
guess we'll sort it out later.
