using linux kernel headers in KDE code

Hi,

Kopete will soon be gaining support for reading from people's video devices 
via the linux Video4Linux interface and will therefore have to make use of 
some kernel headers. so far, the code i've gotten does the following:

#include <asm/types.h>
#include <linux/fs.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/videodev2.h>

obviously, not all of those are needed, and i'm not looking for a critique of 
what headers should be #included and which ones shouldn't. What I _am_ 
looking for though, is a clarification as to whether the linux specific 
headers should be copied into kde's cvs or whether we should just use 
whatever headers are installed. i remember there being problems with linux 
kernel headers with kde in past, hence the reason for wanting the 
clarification.

Thanks,
Matt
