Done.

Actually, this change doesn't appear to be necessary once I protect the
__BEGIN_DECLS and __END_DECLS stuff.

I've removed the #include of <sys/types.h>.

Won't it?  I thought the idea was that when you and I settled on
something that looked good I would attempt to send it back to the libc
folks so that the files wouldn't need to be maintained separately.  So
far, our work contains at the least some cleanup, a bug fix, and an
efficiency improvement that should be useful in libc.

Done.

Patch still delayed until I'm done with my email.
