Well, this sounds reasonable. What I am worried about is that some
functions might require more than one header files (e.g. open(2)). And
even though everything is working for me if I include only one of them,
compilation might not work on say mingw because all three header files
are required there.

However, given that we improved jenkinks, I'd say lets rely on it in
this case and merge these patches.

ACK to both.
