I agree with Karel on this --- it's difficult to visualize doing useful
SPI work without a source tree at hand, and it also seems unlikely that
SPI authors would get along for long with *only* those header files
needed to pull in spi.h. So I think it's pretty pointless to add just
those header files.
What would make more sense is for the standard install to install only
those headers needed for *client side* programming, and then to have
an optional install target that installs the whole darn src/include
tree. (Or in RPM terms, a client-devel RPM and a separate server-devel
RPM that adds the rest of src/include.) Anything in between is
guaranteed to be the wrong set of files.
