I mapped the ones that seemed important and didn't require extensive work.  We can always add more.  Any in particular you want?

The information in the class_id should match the inheritance so it didn't seem that necessary.  I can at least add the declaration to vmStructs.cpp.

Do you mean type.hpp?  I just ran out of stream at that point I think.
