Agreed.

Well, we can't include OS.h because additional types are defined there and
we don't want those in (I read). So the question is whether it is allowed to
define alternative types in general (if so, this could probably go in
sys/types.h).

The point is that it breaks the build right now (codycam). I can alter the
patch in such a way that it mentions a huge FIXME, as it will change anyway
when networking is developed.
