+/* 
+   "gsdefines.h"
+
+   created by: grayspace aka J. Leveille
+   for: UbixOS Project
+   date: May 11, 2002
+
+   Purpose:
+    - I need/like to use simple defines for basic sized types which
+   aren't compiler dependant.
+   So here I define them and will use them, when we decide on some conventions
+   I will search and replace them out with the proper ones
+
+    - I need some kind of define for target architecture
+
+   NOTES:
+    - I will stick a 'g' on the end global defines I make for myself
+    - all my types are ending with g when unsigned, gs when signed
+    - for now, when I don't care about bit width and hwen I want
+    just an int for example, I will just use 'int' and assume
+    this will be the fastest type for doing math on the host CPU
