It's a difficult balance to strike.  Use of typedef's can certainly
help backwards compatibility, using these for 3.0 would be helpful,
but it's not always possible to get perfect mapping.  One just has to
look at each case and make a decision.

My priority is making sure the OSG compiles and runs properly across
platforms.  Backwards compatibility and cleanness at this stage is
nice to have but not a must have.  If you can make the changes which
will be low risk w.r.t compiling and running across platforms then go
for it.

Cheers,
Robert.
