Re: lush2 beta release

Hi Yuri,

The names -float- etc. were bound to some black-magic
macros. These macros are still there but are defined
in the namespace lush1- for backwards compatibility.

You have two options, you could either do

(in-namespace* lush1-

(defvar -gbtype- -float-)
...

) ; in-namespace*

to bind the alternative names -gbtype- etc. to the old macros.

Or you could do it the way it is done in the opengl-interface,
that is, define a new namespace for the gblearn code to do
the translations "-gptype- -> -float-" etc. In the end you
do the compilation in the namespace lush1-. Take a look at the
file packages/opengl/opengl.lsh.
