make struct timeval posix compliant ?

[Matthieu Michaud]

hello,

on RELENG_6 sys/_timeval.h defines (struct timeval).tv_sec as long.  
posix wants it to be a time_t. this seems to have been corrected a  
long time ago in HEAD (see [1]). i took time to 'make universe' in a  
RELENG_6 tree with the HEAD src/sys/sys/_timeval.h. i've found  
similar breakage. here's a patch which correct it the same way. this  
sounds like an idea with pros (conformance) and cons (abi change).  
anyone interested in those changes ?
