u_int32_t vs uint32_t

[Stuart Kreitman]

I found in the OpenBSD cvsweb that both types were defined at one 
point.  I'm not able to locate their <machine/types.h> file.

This is a request that WrapHelp.c be changed to use "uint32_t" form 
(also uint8_t in that file).
I would like someone to help confirm that current OpenBSD defines this 
form. I'm happy to change or have someone else change
the cvs.
