        Hm… Thinking about this a bit more, I think it’s a good idea to update 
the manpages. My gut says that unless the explicit requirement is removed, 
people will keep on using the old #include list. Maybe a note should be made in 
the BUGS section about sys/types.h being required in previous releases (or 
folks should just pay attention to previous versions’ manpages *shrugs*?)?
Thanks!
