I think what I'm going to do is this:  The argument is question cannot
possibly be of a different width than int, unless someone is *really* on
drugs at Sun.  Therefore, if the third argument to accept() is "void *"
then we just take "int".  Evidently there will not be a compiler problem
if you pass an "int *" where a "void *" is expected.  The fact that int
may be signed differently than the actual argument should not be a
problem, since evidently the true argument type varies with compiler
options, but surely the BSD socket layer does not.
