>Description:
	genassym.sh is pure genius. I even found another use for it. 
	But the input syntax can be somewhat tedious.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Get tired of typing "define REALLY_LONG_DEFINE REALLY_LONG_DEFINE",
	or equally tedius structure member offset definitions.
>Fix:
	The patch included below adds three new 'statements' to
genassym.sh's syntax:

	export X
		is a synonym for "define X X"
	struct X
		remembers X for "member" (see below) and
		does a "define X_SIZEOF sizeof(struct X)"
	member Y
		does a "define Y offsetof(last_X, Y)"
