Well.. if our header files require including some other, obscure
include files, while this is not needed on several (not just one)
systems, then they should probably be fixed. But it is normal practice
that an include file requires the inclusion of another, it would be wrong
to bloat all include files just because you can't compile Linux source
out of the box. Unfortunately, there seems to be quite a bit of software
written on Linux that isn't very portable.
