[Aldor-l] Portability

[pip88nl at gmail.com]

I believe the documentation imposes the following two constraints on
datatype sizes:

1.    sizeof (long)  > sizeof (int)
   or sizeof (long) == sizeof (int) and sizeof (int) > sizeof (int)

2.    sizeof (char *) == sizeof (short)
   or sizeof (char *) == sizeof (long)

This means that:

- sizeof (long)   >= 2
- sizeof (int)    >= 1
- sizeof (short)  >= 1
- sizeof (char *) >= 1 (may be 1 in medium and smaller memory models)

Are these really all the constraints I have? I *need* some test machines
for this stuff :-\. Aldor's code seems to want to be almost as portable
as C itself. That's funny, because it doesn't even run on FreeBSD :(. I
don't want to remove the current portability, though. At this point, I
just want to remove obsolete compiler-brokenness-checks.
