I've made a modification to the gdsl_types.h to fix this.
This modif is not optimal (it will be done) but it should now
work on more systems.

All the modifications above are in the file gdsl-1.0.tar.gz
on savannah. This file replace the old one.
Just tell me if its now good for you.

was made before GDSL was put on savannah, and now we have
finally decided to use GPL instead of LGPL.
