The standard headers can't define these types.  I believe it violates
ANSI because these names are reserved for the user.  I believe it violates
POSIX as well, since I seem to recall that POSIX reserves the entire name_t
space for itself.

Portable userland code should only use the ANSI types (char, short, int,
and long), and the POSIX types (off_t, size_t, etc.).  Code that uses
int32_t, etc will not be portable to all machines.

Does anyone know if POSIX requires off_t to be an integral type?
