Indeed with the header installed under /usr/include/sys the fix
to the port would be trivial.  I'm all for installing it.  I was
off looking for a way to accomplish the same thing without the
header.

The new name and location sound like a good idea too.  Probably
would be a good idea to get a repo-copy before the deed is done.

Kenneth since you have changes you'd like to make will you pursue
this or would you like me too?  Thanks.
