For dealing with issues that may arise from various 32/64-bit
systems, we will ask Configure to check out

SHORTSIZE == sizeof(short)
INTSIZE == sizeof(int)
LONGSIZE == sizeof(long)
PTRSIZE == sizeof(void *)
DOUBLESIZE == sizeof(double)
LONG_DOUBLESIZE == sizeof(long double) (if HAS_LONG_DOUBLE).
- Most of these are currently unused, but they are mentioned here so
- metaconfig will include the appropriate tests in Configure and
- we can then start to consider how best to deal with long long
- variables.
