So what? You yourself say "on some Unix". I have seen the actual type in
question (used in prototypes) being int, size_t, unsigned long. May be
something else. Defining it as socklen_t adds virtually nothing to
readablility or portability (portable programs should still check actual
type to avoid prototype mismatch errors).

Or do you say that socklen_t is defined in some standard? This is different
matter.
