experimental libchash.h doesn't function on x64 platforms

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For more than one year, I have been using your libchash library for my own
search engine in tumgazeteler.com news site.
It is a great work, thank you very much.
But, when I migrated to 64 bit, I had problems. Then, I discovered that
LOG_WORD_SIZE query code was wrong.
I just replaced a part of the code in libchash.h :

#ifndef LOG_WORD_SIZE                  /* 5 for 32 bit words, 6 for 64 */
#ifdef __alpha                         /* only way I know of determining */
#define LOG_WORD_SIZE          6       /* log_2(sizeof(ulong)) [in bits] */
#else
#define LOG_WORD_SIZE          5       /* log_2(sizeof(ulong)) [in bits] */
#endif
#endif

with

#if defined (__LP64__) || defined (_LP64)
#define LOG_WORD_SIZE          6       /* log_2(sizeof(ulong)) [in bits] */
#else
#define LOG_WORD_SIZE          5       /* log_2(sizeof(ulong)) [in bits] */
#endif

The code in google code site is still wrong and 64 bit computers are widely
used nowadays. I tought it may be important to fix it.
Thanks again for your great code.

Thanks for the report!  That fix makes sense.  I'll include it in the next 
sparsehash
release.

I'm glad the experimental C library is working well for you!

This should be fixed in sparsehash 1.4, just released.
