I meant to say "precedence". The include path was choosing "vswitchd" before
"lib", so it was always pulling the old one. Since "vswitch-idl.h" was no
longer in "vswitchd", "make clean" would just blow away the one in "lib".
Another issue was that even when "vswitchd/vswitch-idl.h" was removed, it would
be recreated on the next call to "make".
Ethan and I were talking, and we wondered if it would make sense to continue to
erase those "vswitchd/vswitch-idl.*" files when "make clean" is run for a
little while.
