Someday a stable DVB API will be in /usr/include/linux/dvb, but I
don't know of one linux distribution doing that yet... Until then
we can handle this like we handle videodev.h. Or we can handle it
some other way, I'm not married to this patch, it's just one 
solution to the problem. But, I don't think linking to the kernel 
sources, even via a symlink construction that avoids the current
problem with linking to the kernel sources, is a workable solution.
