The only reason the headers are in the doc directory is because the
OpenGL headers are also in the doc directory. We simply handled the
two sets of headers the same. I don't know why the OpenGL headers
aren't installed in a compiler-accessible location. This issue was
briefly mentioned when creating our FreeBSD VDPAU packaging, but
there was no specific mention of the reasoning behind it.
Anyway, I hope things will straighten out soon enough.
