[Tig] longgggg rolls

[Nuno Duarte]

Oh yeah... customs... we have some clients from outside the EU who have had
a few problems at the Lisbon airport.
Once they had a few undeveloped reels from a commercial "traped" there for
something like a week.
And it was camera reels (thus smaller).

Never got to know how they solved it... but the job ended up being done, of
course.
