! Description:
!   Provide named kind parameters for use in declarations of real and integer 
!    variables with specific byte sizes (i.e. one, two, four, and eight byte
!    integers; four and eight byte reals). The parameters can then be used
!    in (KIND = XX) modifiers in declarations.
!   A single function (byteSizesOK()) is provided to ensure that the selected 
!    kind parameters are correct.
!  
! Input Parameters:
!   None.
!
! Output Parameters:
!   Public parameters, fixed at compile time:
!     OneByteInt, TwoByteInt, FourByteInt, EightByteInt
!                                     FourByteReal, EightByteRadl

! Design Notes:
!   Fortran 90 doesn't allow one to check the number of bytes in a real variable;
!     we check only that four byte and eight byte reals have different kind parameters.
