Hi Sam,

	Yeah, I never heard back either.  And I'm reluctant to try to fix it
myself: I've never managed to patch the build system without causing you
to rewrite it better 8)

> But could we please get rid of the "../../../" in the include....

	Sure: but how?  It's a private internal include for the lg.ko module.

Thanks!
