I've thought this easy way out actually. But i just hate the manual
copying of same file. If i update something in one, i will have to
remember to copy it before building it,because build will be ok with old
file. That may lead to undefined behavior.

Not a great fan of symlinks either.

Error message is trivial, "can not find file <xt_mymatch.h>.
