Yeah, I have been thinking about changing f2c to use that.  Since it 
uses its own definitions in f2c.h, anything can be easily changed.  f2c 
is a fairly old software so it has dated types in it.

typedef long int integer;
typedef unsigned long int uinteger;
typedef char *address;
typedef short int shortint;
typedef float real;
typedef double doublereal;
typedef struct { real r, i; } complex;
typedef struct { doublereal r, i; } doublecomplex;
typedef long int logical;
typedef short int shortlogical;
typedef char logical1;
typedef char integer1;
typedef long long longint;		/* system-dependent */
typedef long long logical8;		/* system-dependent */
typedef unsigned long long ulongint;	/* system-dependent */
#define  fstring  fem::str
