  there is an availability problem too. searching for the header name it
seems that only SuSE ships that API as part of their system. I have the
feeling that trying to integrate this will be a serious pain, well at least
it will need to be checked at configure time, etc ... The code is here,
the API is unlikely to change, and taht doesn't sound quite urgent at the
moment :-)
