I think that it would be better to generate the header file in
datapath-windows/include instead of the top-level include directory,
because the generated header is meant for use only from the windows
datapath.

That probably means that the automake.mk code should go inside
datapath-windows/ as well.

I'd be inclined to always build the windows datapath header, not just
"if WIN32".  Building it is cheap, harmless, and could possibly find
bugs.

I think it's probably best to move away from the windows datapath code
trying to include any userspace headers, including netlink-protocol.h.
