Conflicts in public include header

/usr/local/include/aff4.h:1141: error: using typedef-name ‘RDFValue’ after 
‘struct’
/usr/local/include/aff4.h:862: error: ‘RDFValue’ has a previous declaration 
here

removing or commenting the statement at line 1141 does the trick for me.

Also line 1218 contains: void (*delete) (RDFURN urn);
Note that delete is a C++ keyword
It currently prevents g++ from compiling code that includes aff4.h, e.g. on 
aff4imager.c

/usr/local/include/aff4.h:1222: error: expected unqualified-id before 
‘delete’
/usr/local/include/aff4.h:1222: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘delete’
In file included from aff4imager.c:2:
/usr/local/include/aff4.h:1809: error: expected ‘,’ or ‘...’ before 
‘namespace’

possible solution is to change the name of the function or consider it as an 
over-loadable operator but it has to have void return type and get a void* 
parameter void (*delete)( void *urn );

There seems to be a lot of internal library code in the public include header, 
which does not improve its readability. Please consider using 'opaque pointers'.

This seems to be a problem with the g++ compiler. It seems to be much more 
strict and also has reserved words like "delete" which the regular gcc doesnt 
care about.

I have gone through and rejigged the code to not use these reserved words.
