I've coded STRING_.is_integer_64 and (but not for VE)
STRING_.to_integer_64.

I'm not sure what to do about writing tests.

Test_is_integer_64 is no problem.

But test_to_integer_64 will fail to compile for VE, and
kl_test_string_routines.e is not a ge class. Perhaps a separate class?

Also, I should really but in a conditional in the .eant files for the
xpath and xslt tests, so as not to run them for VE.

Or do we just drop VE completely now?
