Subject: 64-bit integers in network byte-order

All,
does Ruby have a way to convert 64-bit integers to and from network 
order in a platform-independent way?

For 32-bit ints, I can use [value].pack("N"). The conversion operator 
for 64-bit ints ("Q") doesn't have a network-order variant. (I assume 
this is because the underlying byte-order converters (htons/htonl) don't 
have a 64-bit version on 32-bit platforms.)
