Travis added a few macros to automate this calculation (for non-blitz 
cases).  If you passed in 'a' then A1(i), A2(i, j) A3(i, j, k) and A4(i, 
j, k, l) are all defined.  Here are the macros:

#define A1(i) (*((long*)(a_array->data + (i)*Sa[0])))
#define A2(i,j) (*((long*)(a_array->data + (i)*Sa[0] + (j)*Sa[1])))
#define A3(i,j,k) (*((long*)(a_array->data + (i)*Sa[0] + (j)*Sa[1] + 
(k)*Sa[2])))
#define A4(i,j,k,l) (*((long*)(a_array->data + (i)*Sa[0] + (j)*Sa[1] + 
(k)*Sa[2] + (l)*Sa[3])))
