As you can see, the MIN and MAX are missing for the last two, the float and double, and I haven't figured out if there are any long/short/signed/unsigned versions of these two.

IIRC,
long double is a thing. Float
is what you'd describe as "short double", really.
As per the IEEE-754 specification, all floating point numbers are signed. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_floating_point for more details.
And thank your deity of choice that you don't have to learn that in order to implement floating point operations in assembly... completely on CPU.
Also, you might be missing wchar_t but I don't remember for sure if it's a C or C++ thing.

IIRC, there is an include for that sort of thing (though my memory fails to provide the name).
