u_int*_t types  
Hi,


There's a fair bit of code out there that expect these.
We've run into this numerous times lately so I figured
I'd test the waters.  I suspect this would cause a little
bit of churn in our sourcebase so I'm soliciting opinions
before I start off.  These would be wrapped in __EXT_BSD
in <sys/types.h> if we were to proceed.

Regards,

Re: u_int*_t types  
This is definitely one you'd want to run through the PSE52 suite first.

The __EXT_BSD feature test should prevent them being visible to strictly
conforming POSIX programs (that define _POSIX_VERSION etc.), but it's a
good idea to check nothing gets broken.
