Indeed. I was being mindful of the places that may use the library with
less than standard libc's/C compilers. Having said that the types are
C99 so you would hope everything has them by now (unless it's a very
weird arch). In fact I see the trunk has had a bunch of the old #ifndef
HAS_x compatibility stuff removed from types.h.

If we are happy that net-snmp relies on guarantees made by autoconf
about the system then I shall forward a simplified patch.
