[ofw] API breakage in trunk

[Tzachi Dar]

Why is this such a big problem? 

This is a new release and we can ask for application to be recompiled.

I'm quite sure that a similar solution was created for Linux.

Thanks
Tzachi

I was comparing the differences between the trunk and wof2-2 branch, and noticed the following change had been committed to the trunk:

diff -up -r -X \mshefty\scm\gen1\trunk\docs\dontdiff.txt -I '\$Id'

This changes a publically accessible data structure, which breaks all existing applications.  This change must be reverted and an alternate solution found.
(This change only affects the trunk, not the 2.2 release.)
