No, I am not sure. If you have any suggestions on how to make this 
header file safer against upcoming compiler changes these are very welcome.
But I am rather sure that Apple must use similar definitions, this is 
why Cocoa code wont compile with GNUstep in the moment. And personally I 
would always recomment not to include this header into your own code. It 
is just there for the porting from Cocoa!
