Sure, I can do that. 

This is a basic style question - should .h files (a) contain #includes
for all other header files they depend on, or should (b) the .c code
be required to #include everything in correct order? AFAICS we don't
have a policy about that in multipath-tools, it's sometimes this way
and sometimes the other way. Personally I'm slightly inclined towards
(b) because it makes the dependencies of .c files more explicit, but I
don't care much. (a) makes the life of the programmer a bit easier.

Regards,
Martin
