Global Types Used by all Components

Open Files is designed as a highly portable subsystem. As such, it is necessary to define all types we use consistently throughout the product. Any platform generic code should use only types defined within this group. APIs to all Open Files components will use types either defined in this group, or in some other facility dependent on this group.

When porting Open Files to a new platform, some attention should be paid to the definition of these types. In most cases, no modification to any of these definitions is necessary.
