sprintf is portable %lld not... In this case I don't like the use of
sprintf to:
- not lose precision with conversion
- we build an array with digits (0-9) then format it, we should change
the code do output only 2 decimal digits instead of building a string
with 4 decimal digits and than use atof/sprintf to remove two digits...
The code compile only if a 64bit int is not present. Note however that
many conversions in convert.c require a 64bit int...
