+# 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)
