what i want to have:
one "class" of objects, that do image-processing (ok, we have said this several 
times by now...)
All objects should be derived from "one" real class (in C++), the GemPixObj (or 
GemPixDualObj)
as with naming: if you really think, you won't get what you want if objects are 
called "pix_*" instead of "yuv_*", go on, and make "pix_*" objects and !alias! 
them to "yuv_*" (with class_addcreator()).
this should be easy, and everybody would be happy.

now, why do i want this ? of course there are differences between operations in 
color-space, but maybe, somebody wants this ?
multiplying channels with scalars might have completely different results in 
YUV-space and in RGBA-space.
But that's OK! I'd like it this way (it extends the possibilities of image-
processing)
sometimes we might not be able to do things in a specific color-space.
Gosh, that's ok! i do think, plenty of operations (pE. alpha-keying) don't work 
in Grey-space.
If i have a fast processor (and in near future we all will have), conversion 
between yuv and rgba (as far as it is possible) might not be the problem any 
longer.

i don't think, that YUV is something "OS-specific".
just some OS's support it better than others. maybe this will change.
i'd rather prefer it like it is and introduce a "conversion on demand" object 
before the actual texturing (that will convert YUV to RGB on PC-platforms but 
not on Mac's)

it was just: forgotten defines and stuff like this
i didn't complain, because i expected this when i was checking out your sources
i just meant, it could happen to you too, once or twice..
