When you dick around with header files in this way, you may succeed in
getting compilation problems to go away, but, you are really asking for
problems later on down the road.

If you can honestly say that you understand what you did, why you did it,
why it worked, and if and why it's ok, then fine, but, if the code you
compiled is buggy or unstable, don't expect sympathy from anyone.  These
kinds of hacks are severely bad things to get in the habit of doing.

If you don't understand why, I'll send you some simple source.
