The problem is that we don't (and shouldn't) install ntdef.h and
ntddk.h but we should do that with wintrnl.h since it is an
official header and might be used by a Winelib application.

Of course since it first appear a few weeks ago not many
application are likely to use it yet...

Of course, I should I guessed from the name ntddk.h,
that it is from the DDK after all... :-)

And do what?
As I said above wintrnl.h can't include ntddk.h.

Of course we can just include it as it is and don't use it...
