Glad you both like it!

When I do an allyesconfig build, I do get errors during the "CHECK"
phase, when it is putting things into the usr/include in the build tree.
I believe that this is because I am exposing different header files to
the library-export scripts.  The following patch silences some of them,
but I am really out of my depth here.

Sam, Jan, Michal, help?

							Thanx, Paul
