[Aldor-l] Portability

[pip88nl at gmail.com]

Now I have three questions:

- does aldor want to support systems where CHAR_BIT != 8?
- if it does have to support them, how do I reliably find out the
  endianness? either way, endianness doesn't exist on platforms where
  sizeof (char) == sizeof (long) but then again, aldor doesn't want to
  support platforms where this is the case (see CC_second_largest_is_int)
  for why.
- can I require the system to have an integral datatype with
  sizeof (T) == 4?
