MIPS and Alpha support

[fmoya]

Hi,

Would it be possible to apply the following patch to IceUtil/Config.h and icecpp/config.h?

This is just to select the proper endianness in MIPS and to set the wchar_t size in Alpha.

Indeed, for WCHAR_TYPE_SIZE a Debian developer (Falk Hueffner) reports the following alternative that relies on having a complete limits.h (since icecpp defines HAVE_LIMITS_H I don't think it would cause any harm to any supported plattform):

#if WCHAR_MAX == 32767 || WCHAR_MAX == 65536
#   define WCHAR_TYPE_SIZE 2
#elif WCHAR_MAX == 2147483647 || WCHAR_MAX == 4294967295
#   define WCHAR_TYPE_SIZE 4
#else
#   error "unsupported operating system or platform"
#endif

Comments welcome.

Thank you very much, we will add this.

We no longer use WCHAR_TYPE_SIZE on our mainline, so incorporating this patch very easy .
