Confusing: different versions of includes.h, nessus-devel.h

Hi,

I stumbled across a strange inconsistency:

In nessus-libraries there is a include/includes.h that is installed
to $prefix/include/nessus.
This file inlucdes a nessus-devel.h which is not installed.
Thus, using nessus-libraries would produce a compile error.

Funny enough, this does not happen too often since many people
install the devel stuff of nessus-core as well. There, another
(different!) includes.h is installed on the previous includes.h
of nessus-libraries and, luckily, nessus-devel.h is installed as well
(and it is again very different from the nessus-devel.h in
nessus-libraries).

I found this problem while building nessus-plugins debian package
without having nessus-devel installed (only libnessus-devel was
installed). Actually, some compilation failed - so it was no
configure that detected this.

So, in a first instance, the flaw lies in multiple existance of
files with the same name but different content.
Currently I am lacking an idea in which way this should be resolved ...

Best

	Jan
