i don't see the point. if the header files are different in respect to
ABI compatibillity (for example class member order, number of members
or object size) then your plugins will not work anyway. if the headers
are compatible, it does not matter which one you used to compile them.
anyway, vdr and plugins must be compiled with "compatible" header
files. this is what the APIVERSION is for. you could try to copy your
patched headers over a fresh vdr source tree and compile it including
hope this helps ...
