No anti typedef prejudice here but:

1. I would like to see consistency in the way we declare/handle structs
and we have not used typedefs till now.
2. Ref Greg KH's OLS 2002 paper Documentation/CodingStyle and Beyond.
Though this paper addresses kernel coding, I would prefer not to use them
in our libs. I am not claiming that the present sysutils code is fully
compliant with the CodingStyle though :) 

Just my 2 cents...
