 pointerTypeMappingFor: aTypeSymbol

given a type, make it a 'pointer to that-type'

 pointerTypeMappingFor: aTypeSymbol inEnvironment: nameSpaceOrNil

given a type, make it a 'pointer to that-type'.
aTypeSymbol must be one of the well-known builtin types (i.e. int, float,...)
or the name of a class, which must be an ExternalStructure subclass.
TypeSymbol might get mapped via the classes typeMap

 typeMappingFor: aTypeSymbol

map some common types; this is needed because there are so many synonyms
used in the various Smalltalk dialects..
