Need to know wordsize for ffi pointer interface

[dsmith]

Code that uses pointer-ref-c-* functions needs to know the value of wordsize so it can advance over a pointer.

The file lib/ypsilon-compat.ikarus.ss has

  (define pointer-size
    (cond
      [(<= (fixnum-width) 32) 4]
      [else 8]))

I guess this could be used. It would be nice to have it (or something like it) available in the (ikarus foreign) library.

btw: I wanted to make this a wishlist item. Didn't see how to do that.

Will do.

Added in revision 1690. I added it as a procedure however to make it consistent with, say, fixnum-width.
