    The xmalloc implementation is not 64 bit clean.  This fixes all its
    anachronisms.

Hmm.  There are so many complexities around size_t, I admit I am
somewhat leery of this.  I have seen more meaningless compiler errors
than I can count.

What I really want to do is incorporate the *alloc modules from gnuilb,
but they have also become so complex, I decided to wait for the next
release.

I really doubt anyone will be creating >2gb Texinfo files in the
meantime ...
