I changed away from Alexey's old KERNEL_INCLUDE, because it was necessary
for the package to be able to be compiled without depending on the kernel
header files. There were cases where new features needed to be compiled on
old systems where the definition was missing.  Think about building current
iproute2 util's with 2.4.20 includes.

The current solution (though less than ideal) was to put stripped down
version of the routing specific includes into the iproute2 package.
