 GRASS DBMI Library and DB driver lacks support of bigint (int8), see
 source:grass/trunk/include/dbmi.h#L78

 Currently DB drivers just print warnings like

 {{{
 WARNING: Column 'pr_' : type int8 (bigint) is stored as integer (4 bytes)
 some data may be damaged
 }}}

 Since bigint is normally used GRASS DB drivers should support it.
