Ah, I should have phrased that differently.  It doesn't have to be
a local header, it just can't be a kernel header.  Last time this
was discussed, consensus seemed to be that a local header in Samba
would be best.  An alternative which was discussed briefly the last
time this came up, would be for the quota package to provide a new
header (eg. #include <quota/*.h>) and maybe a library... which other
folks like Samba could easily test for and make use of.

Hmm... I think the direct inclusion of kernel headers in Samba is
going to have to change, no matter what solution is implemented.

cheers.
