Previously these functions were leaked to all sorts different headers. Weak aliases exist for these functions so even if software depended on, for instance ntohl() being prototyped <sys/types.h>, this should not be fatal. There's a few small issues with the prototypes which can lead to some compiler diagnostics (this should be fixed by Sunday). If someone can provide a compiler error and source file, I can figure out what the problem is.
