Denys, I really appreciate your work in cleaning this algorithm up.

However, I just can't accept 600 lines of new code just to do setkey
faster/smaller on 64-bit platforms.  You know, some people have to
study these files line-by-line in order have them pass government
certifications and such.

OK I went back and looked at the figures, so we're talking about
either 1K extra on 64-bit if we use the 32-bit version or 2K extra
on 32-bit if we went for the 64-bit version.

Either way it doesn't seem to be a big deal.  So how about just
picking one and sticking with it?

Thanks,
