  CLISTIZE(CLASSNAME) MACRO DEFINITION
  ======================================

CLASSNAME is assumed to be the name of a class to be used in a CONS list

NOTE:  Because we don't use virtual functions in the list code, the list code
will NOT work correctly for classes derived from this.

The macro generates:
  - An element deletion function:      CLASSNAME##_c1_zapper
  - An element copier function:
              CLASSNAME##_c1_copier
  - A CLIST subclass:   CLASSNAME##_CLIST
  - A CLIST_ITERATOR subclass:
              CLASSNAME##_C_IT

NOTE: Generated names do NOT clash with those generated by ELISTIZE,
ELIST2ISE and CLIST2IZE

Two macros are provided: CLISTIZE and CLISTIZEH
The ...IZEH macros just define the class names for use in .h files
The ...IZE macros define the code use in .c files
