+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+# AX_COMPILE_CHECK_SIZEOF(TYPE [, HEADERS [, EXTRA_SIZES...]])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+# This macro checks for the size of TYPE using compile checks, not run
+# checks. You can supply extra HEADERS to look into. the check will cycle
+# through 1 2 4 8 16 and any EXTRA_SIZES the user supplies. If a match is
+# found, it will #define SIZEOF_`TYPE' to that value. Otherwise it will
+# emit a configure time error indicating the size of the type could not be
+# determined.
+#
+# The trick is that C will not allow duplicate case labels. While this is
+# valid C code:
+#
+# switch (0) case 0: case 1:;
+#
+# The following is not:
+#
+# switch (0) case 0: case 0:;
+#
+# Thus, the AC_TRY_COMPILE will fail if the currently tried size does not
+# match.
+#
+# Here is an example skeleton configure.in script, demonstrating the
+# macro's usage:
+#
+# AC_PROG_CC
+# AC_CHECK_HEADERS(stddef.h unistd.h)
+# AC_TYPE_SIZE_T
+# AC_CHECK_TYPE(ssize_t, int)
