version.h will be generated when you properly configure + build your 
kernel in /usr/src/linux/. Since we need the config, includes and 
makefiles there anyway it's a proper way to detect the version of the 
kernel which include files we're using.

Please configure+install your kernel before you build the DVB driver, if 
you build the driver against the wrong include files or use config files 
that don't belong to your running kernel very strange side effects can 
occur...
