+This file explains the bad hack of copying the sonypi.h header file into this
+directory:
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Along with glibc, an outdated header snapshot is installed. The event
+definitions in include/linux/sonypi.h in newer kernels differ too much from
+it. Since the code shipped here depends on the proper event definitions, I
+decided to ship a copy of a more up to date include file here.
+
+The solution is not optimal, but it works, and I try to keep the files in this
+directory up to date.
+
+If somebody knows a better solution, please let me know at mirko@kde.org.
