Christian and I exchanged some emails the other day in which we
discussed the option of adding libc wrappers/bindings for all of these
functions. That way these constants would only be hardcoded in two
places: kern_sysctl.c and the function in libc.

That said, adding numerical constants for them in sysctl.h would also
be a good idea. Right now there is already CTL_UNSPEC, but I guess
that should be renamed to something like CTL_INTERNAL or something.
