To go full circle, I guess :-)

The thing about a typedef is that there can really only be one or each
name amonst all of your header files.  The choices are rougly: don't
have the typedef and have each blah.h independant; use a typedef in
blah.h and have everything refering to blah.h suck it in; put the
typedef in defs.h; or have defs.h just suck in blah.h.

All the recent objects have used ``struct blah *'' giving fairly
independant header files.  The older GDB code lived on a diet that
consisted on all of the above.
