It is a way to use allow an "integer" to have a fractional part.
It gives the effect of a floating point number but on some
systems is much faster.

For 26.6: of the 32 bits, bits 0-5 are the fraction and 6-31 are the 
integer.

Just shift right 6 bits to get the integer.

Same basic idea for 16.16 but of course there are 16 bits of 
fraction.
