Inconsistencies with declaration of 64-bit integers ( signed and unsigned ) in many MKL functions

There are inconsistencies with declaration of 64-bit integers ( signed and unsigned ) in many MKL functions. In mkl_types.h there is a declaration:

/* MKL integer types for LP64 and ILP64 */
#if (!defined(__INTEL_COMPILER)) & defined(_MSC_VER)
    #define MKL_INT64 __int64
    #define MKL_UINT64 unsigned __int64
#else
    #define MKL_INT64 long long int
    #define MKL_UINT64 unsigned long long int
#endif

So, MKL_INT64 type is a portable declaration. However, in many MKL functions non-portable declarations long long int and unsigned long long int are used. It creates lots of problems if some legacy C++ compilers are used. For example, Borland C++ v5.x doesn't support  long long int and unsigned long long int types.
