v.in.ogr not supporting OFTInteger64 field type

[zarch]

It seems that GRASS does not support vector columns with type int64, in most of the cases this fields are just normal int32.

I've written a small patch that treat this field as normal integer (with a warning). It works without problems on my test file... but I'm not sure about the consequences if a real int64 is met.

What do you think? It is safe to move this changes to trunk?

support of int64 will depend on DB driver, eg. SQLite integers can hold whatever you put into it: from a 1-byte char to an 8-byte long long (1). PostgreSQL uses int and bigint (2), ...
