I have looked at all the duplicates which you put into conditionals.
Some of them are just plain duplicates and can be removed completely,
for the others I think I can analyse under what conditions they are
needed. The only thing which needs configure help is the question
if size_t == unsigned int. Autoconf has predefined macros for checking
the size of types, and it will be enough to check that the two types
have the same size (since the only candidates for size_t are unsigned
int and unsigned long).
