Synopsis: glob.h, glob_t's gl_pathc should be "size_t", not "int".

Responsible-Changed-When: Tue Dec 9 22:33:52 PST 2003
Responsible-Changed-Why: 
Throw this back to -standards, as it isn't what I originally thought.

I don't believe we can just change from int->size_t because it would
introduce ABI compatibility problems where sizeof(int) !=
sizeof(size_t). This will most likely have to wait until a libc major
bump.
