64bit compatibility

Hi,

we just installed the latest opus release on our linux 64bit server
(November2006 release).

We had to hack the code a bit to be granted a green light from
all_tests.

basically they were two sources of error:

1) we have two different python installation (2.3 and 2.4). While the
default
is 2.3, we use 2.4 for opus/urbansim. In many places in the code,
scripts are executed
running the "python " command explicitly. These should be replaced
with "sys.executable"
to make sure we fork the same python version.

2) Sometimes tests expects "Int32" variable types and check for it.
Replacing
some with "Int64" seem to do the job. However we didn't touch the
code outside
the tests (in opus_core/attribute_cache.py and variable.py for
instance) and reading the
Eugene baseyear cache seems to run smoothly though.
