itaps-parallel Re: typedef structure in iMeshP.h

[Onkar Sahni]

As Ting mentioned we will check on email update for changes to svn. We do
exercise this with repositories of our tools/software (probably you guys
know it but in case... "View Log" link provides log on changes).

On handle issue we had discussions as can be seen in the link but there
was no discussion on how its going to be incorporated in header files.
Moreover, I do not know if ITAPS_DECLARE_HANDLE goes in iMeshP.h or
iBase.h or other. If we want to have it this way (ITAPS_DECLARE_HANDLE)
then I think it doesn't goes in iMeshP.h.
