When using codegen, you will almost create new types by yourself. You
need to either (a) fix codegen to parse correctly some missing type
that was in a public header or (b) write custom defs entries in
mafw-extras.defs.

This way, the code generated by codegen will already contain all the
xxxType structs etc.

You can always use existing defs entries as reference for writing your
own entries. Just remember to put then in mafw-extras.defs , because
any other .defs are overwritten when running mafw_gen_defs.sh to
update the autogenerated defs.

As I said above, for type definitions codegen should be used. For
other custom things that need to go in the init function, you need to
edit mafwmodule.c (it is manually written).
