I didn't misspeak in my email.  :-)

That being said:

1. If the Java sizes are fixed, great.  It should make writing configury to 
find matching C types easier (because we know what the Java sizes are).

2. George raises a good point: we support the MPI_INTx_T datatypes now, which 
probably obviates the need for any extra configury (since the Java sizes are 
fixed).
