IMO current libsa code is not so smart and I doubt such typedef
will make sources better per efforts...

For the former getsecs(), MD functions should return
a 16 bit value so I think it's okay to use explicit uint16_t.

The latter is a value for "some small seconds for timeout",
so int might be okay for me.

If you have good typedef names for them, I'll use them in net.h ;-)
