Fortunately, the problem is lessened by the fact that the headers don't appear
to be installed by default.  However, there is an incentive to replace the
X ones with the NVidia ones as they "contain the most up to date versions of
NVIDIA's OpenGL extensions".
Looking round their website, there doesn't seem to be anywhere to report the
conflict or give any feedback to them at all - I couldn't find any contact details.
Not suprising when you think that they must be the only company to supply executable headers
(implying that they are developed on a Win32 system).
It's not all bad though - in the Developer's corner of their web-site, there seem to be some
good examples of DirectX stuff, with source.  Might be useful for testing Wine... (although
I don't know the legalities - they jseem to be freely downloadable)
