[svn-r9213] Purpose:
new test for the native types test

Description:

on the Cray SV1 an INT type was wrongly converted to a SHORT type
by the get_native_integer function

Choose the type based on the precision; this is to support cases
like the Cray SV1, where the size of short is 8 but precision is 32
 (e.g an INT (size 8, prec 64) would be converted to a SHORT
    (size 8, prec 32) if the size was the deciding factor)



Solution:

Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
aix
