Yeah, this problem is kind of ugly; we should have a test for the  
integer size in Fortran compilers. However, I don't know how to do  
that. We've been pretty lucky so far: INTEGER seems to be a C int on  
everything. I know this is true for GNU Fortran (g77, gfortran) on  
Linux, on both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. But I don't think there's  
any guarantee that it would be true in general.
