Please add a couple of lines saying what it does and what its upstream
status is.

OK for =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99 with this change!

Then I second John=E2=80=99s comment: you should propose the change upstrea=
m.
They might do it differently (by checking for the header and function at
configure time, typically), but I guess there=E2=80=99s no reason why they =
would
refuse it.

Thank you!
