In the beginning I included kernel headers as well, but then I asked
Linus on the kernel mailing list and he said he does not want user space
to include kernel headers, period, so I stopped doing it.

Still, several projects do it, so I'm taking some precautions so that
that still works.

All the SO_* defines should be in <sys/socket.h>, am I right?

OK, will have a look.
