Alan,
The real problem is that the header content is incomplete and wrong for complete feature usage. I will write a signature header file for the various flavors and document the ownership of the IP and the terms of usage.
This should be an optimal solution.
I gather you are point to me as the 1% for the Linux KOOKs ;-)
Cheers,
