Nice, might it be possible to have "configure" pre-generated, and possibly
kept current in cvs, as is typical of GNU projects? (thereby eliminating
the necessity for the installation of the old autoxxx tools release)

Also a minor update, I experimented with disabling gcc's default promotion
of small integers (char/short) to int; and so far so good, now attempting to
also limit promoting enum's and bool's to the smallest integer type with
sufficient precision, as opposed to defaulting to int, which 99% of the time
will be a char, as most enums tend to be small; but will likely miss some
places for similar improvements, as GCC's expression manipulation code is a
bit tangled.

But unfortunately don't have a great degree of confidence that it would be
easily accepted, as all targets would need to be tested, and although I
don't think it would be detrimental to other targets, it may effect some of
their optimization assumptions if biased toward assuming int types, but not
sure.
