Indeed, upstream has moved the header.  We should however detect which
one is correct, though, to avoid breaking building on older systems.

This, however, rather looks like a packaging issue in Fedora. It should
set JAVA_JNI_DIR to the place where JNI libraries can be loaded, and
that brltty's make install should thus install to.

Hardcoding /usr/libsomething is really not something we want :)
