	Funny this would be mentioned. I've seen the converse a lot with Linux devs because they fail to understand that headers on Linux #include a lot more crud than they need to..
	Devs in general don't read the [POSIX] manpages like they should to figure out what needs to be #include'd in order to get function/constant definitions. Third party devs are usually the worst offenders.
