PATCH: parted-1.4.8/configure.in misused AC_CHECK_TYPE

        AC_CHECK_TYPE, unlike most autoconf tests, takes two arguments,
not three.  It is AC_CHECK_TYPE(type,default), rather than
AC_CHECK_TYPE(type,success_case, failure_case).  parted incorrectly
expects the latter behavior.  The result is that the config.h that
it generates defines __u32, __u16, etc. to nothing if those symbols
are not already defined.  I have also fixed a complain where autoconf
objected to AC_CHECK_SIZEOF being called before AC_ISC_POSIX (I guess
it needs this to run test programs).  Anyhow, I have attached the
patch below.  I hope this is helpful.

        Thanks for writing such a useful piece of software as parted.
Linux has needed repartitioning tools for a long time.
