OT:
Well, on a personal point of view, the only usable mailer I know does 
not run on my 'work' OS. I'll copy/paste from an editor ;-)

Well, 0xf000000 seems some kind of 'standart' value. we could have a 
global variable 'mpc52xx_mbar' which would be default 0xf0000000 and 
modified by each platform.

Well, I dod personally have the whole structure/define in a single 
header rather than splitting in xxx files.
