Ok, let's start using the correct names for things, as it took me a
while to figure out what the hell this was all about.  os_types.h isn't
in vorbis.  It's in ogg.

It was addressed.  These are new changes, and we're going around
cleaning up the stuff we missed.  Since I don't personally have a mac to
build this stuff on, I'm goin to wait until you guys point stuff out
until I fix something :)  Same goes for BeOS.  I do however have win32
around, and I will get around to making those build probelsm go away
with correct project files etc.

This was fairly elegant, and has been done and committed.  Thanks for
the patch at the bottom, I included it in a slightly different place,
but it should have the same effect.
