This is not tuff to do.  As early as v1.1, cfront supported a "+x file" option
that told it to read a file of types, sizes and alignments for the various C
types for a target machine.  Soooo.... all you have to do is type (pardon my
Unix here)

	$ CC +x Craytypes -Fc source.C 

to produce a file "source.c" that will compile on a Cray.
