Attached is a first cut to implement something along the lines
that Stefan has been suggesting for a while, namely, to compute
declarations for DEFSYM variables automatically.  This should
help avoid needless clutter in the C code and silly errors involving
mismatched decls etc.  This version is tested on Fedora 19 x86-64
and Solaris 10 sparc-32.  I plan to do a bit more testing before
installing it.  I don't know of any reason it wouldn't work with
Microsoft platforms but I'm no expert there.
