Some time ago I noticed that a lot of packages are defining their own
size_t type. So I added csize_t to ctypes and removed all individual
definitions from the packages so that all are using csize_t.

But this changes are quit old, so I wounder why these aren't in 2.2.4

* added csize_t and pcsize_t for non unix systems (in unix/ctypes.pp)
* added csize_t = UnixTypes.size_t in ctypes.pp for unix systems.   
* reason: size_t is a C type and it's often used by C header files.
Several packages define their own size_t.

* removed the usage of unixtypes from imagemagick headers. Type size_t
was used. csize_t is now available for all platforms over ctypes.
