I think you want

        #include <sys/types.h>

on OpenBSD.

Yes, that's present in OpenBSD.

I think it should be #include <inttypes.h>.  It works at least on BSD
and Linux.

Gaah. This was one reason why I absolutely _detested_ those "intXX_t" 
types historically. I thought the world had gotten over it, and they were 
all so common and standard that we'd never need to worry about it.

Randal: we already _do_ include <sys/types.h>, as part of the standard set 
of headers in git-compat-util.h.

So the problem is that that wasn't enough on OS X, which wanted 
<stdint.h>.

Junio: I'd suggest just using "unsigned int", or just defining your own 
types in "cache.h". I would suggest

	typedef unsigned char u8;
	typedef unsigned short u16;
	typedef unsigned int u32;

	typedef signed char s8;
	typedef short s16;
	typedef int s32;

which is the only sane way to avoid idiotic crap like autoconf, and which 
avoids that whole "standard namespace" issue.

Yeah, some people will complain. Ten years later, they _still_ complain 
about me doing this right in the kernel. But you can sleep well, knowing 
that the complainers are standards-weenies that have read books, but never 
seen the real world.
