Did you update with
	cvs update -C -P -d
Notice the "-d" is needed to create the new directory ecls/src/arch,
which contains nonportable components in ECL.

Currently the only useful feature is :DARWIN. The other one is the name
of the processor, :POWERPC7750 on my ibook, but I feel this is not very
useful.

Well, it must return 8, since a :double is twice the size of a :float. I
checked it in my ibook.

Not yet, but it should not be difficult to include.
