I fail to understand how/why does this matter. There are more headers  
than just nessus-devel.h being installed, and the current system has  
the advantage of working and to have been time-proven. A lot of the  
autoconf tests have been done over time to account for bugs on  
several platforms when it comes to packet forgery / headers  
inclusion / etc... and moving them around adds an un-necessary risk  
of breaking things.

More importantly, the plugins extend the *core* engine. It makes  
sense to have them use whatever headers it provides.
