if I had a Cray, I would try changing the
tests in ImPlatform.h to look like:

#if SIZEOF_SHORT == 2
#define INT16 short
#elif SIZEOF_INT == 2
#define INT16 int
#else
#define INT16 short /* will have to do... */
#endif

worth trying, at least.  some operations will
go wrong, but most of the stuff (and every-
thing that is really important) should work
just fine anyway...

let me know if what I just said was true...
