Well, POSIX and X/Open were merged into on standard POSIX.1-2001
aka SUSv3.  I think the requirements that the typedefs be in each
header comes from the X/Open side, but I'm sure Bruce or Garrett could
elaborate.

It won't do any harm to additionally include <sys/types.h>, but you
are right, they should be updated.
