Unix types in IDL code?

[Volker Lendecke]

Hi!

Right now I'm looking at converting the Samba3
parse_share_modes stuff to becoming IDL-generated. In the
current struct share_mode we have things like uid_t, gid_t,
struct timeval etc.

What would be the recommended way to deal with these? I
could certainly add corresponding support into ndr_misc.c,
or I could use uint64's and a IDL typedef for struct
timeval. The latter approach however makes manual
conversions necessary as the resulting structs don't have
the right types inside.

What should I do here?
