If this is the "magic" include file that is guarenteed to 
work across all Linux distributions and kernels why isn't
in in /usr/include/quota.h ?

You must understand I don't care about the glibc or Linux 
politics, I just see a UNIX with a broken feature that isn't
broken on other UNIXes.

I'm happy to add a header file for a particular system especially
as it is a major platform like Linux, but it's a pain to do so
and we've been trying to move away from platform specific files
for *years*. Your attitude of "go looking for something to fix
*my* platform", frankly sucks.

Popular supported commerical Linux platforms like RedHat and
SuSE already ship with working quota support, and when we binary
package on them Samba works fine. Debian (of course) has to be
different.

If you want it to work on your particular platform a little more
cooperation would be appreciated.

Jeremy.
