UInt64 support in FreeBSD?

Hi, Some people wanting to use pytables on FreeBSD would like to have UInt64 support, but numarray lacks support for it on this platform. As FreeBSD uses gcc compiler, I think it's just a matter to add an "freebsd4-i386" entry in generate.py. Todd, may you please add such a support? Regarding to the other parameters, LP64 (long pointer), HAS_FLOAT128 (128 floating point), I'm not sure, but perhaps they maybe similar to the "linux2" platform. Anyone using FreeBSD can give more hints? Happy new year!, -- Francesc Alted

Sure, I'll add it, but I have no means to test it... I also changed the default platform to include UInt64, since with the exception of MSVC, it's supported everywhere I've looked. Todd
