   Why distribute 16,000 copies of code that most people already have?
   If you don't have it, get it from the archives.  Gwyn's is PD.  If you
   can't do that, strip the one out of emacs. -- it shouldn't be hard.

*The* real solution (okay, *A* real solution) is to have a known source
tree for FSF products, so that authors can #include "../emacs/include/ndir.h",
or wherever it's actually stored.  Even if they don't have the sources to
everything online, at least they have a clue as to where it's to be found.
