The latest version (1.4) does include one. Which version did you

It would have be better to check in configure.ac for the right version
and refuse to build without it, like it does for flex.

miniupnpc is still out of Debian, because iptables upstream doesn't
bless iptables.h as public API and the Debian iptables maintainer

GLee is now in Debian, the wz copy has some minor modifications.
