Well, the feature isn't available on some compilers, e.g. Sun C, so I
checked in a change to use the EXTRACT macros.

I also tweaked the EXTRACT macros use "__attribute((packed))" if
available; however, at least on SPARC with GCC, the code generated with
and without using "__attribute((packed))" is the same - perhaps there
are platforms where the compiler can generate better code with
"__attribute((packed))" than with shift-and-OR.
