[Simh] Problem with default builds

Fri Aug 7 13:33:17 EDT 2015

The current macro has some masth in it rihgt now, but would the 1st
proposed fix for this (with the ?: macros) work any better than the 'index;
(or whatever was used) work any better on all C compilers? It seems that
the compiler must be able to resuce simple expressions into a constant, but
how fat can you sucessfully push it and still work with most C compilers?
