Right. It couldn't possibly be the fault of those creating the tarball
making something that depends on the kernel source, now could it?
All of you other people are absolutely wrong if you think this wasn't a
plot by RedHat! Isn't it obvious that they should make sure every header
and include file is loaded on a system in case one should want to compile,
oh, say, flyingwindows (which needs the COMPILED xscreensaver source
available) so one can do this without having to do the work themselves?
Geez! When will RedHat ever get their act together?!?!?!?

See, this proves it!!! This should have already been done in advance to
avoid this unnecessary effort! RedHat falls flat on this one!!
