I fixed this in my 'pending' tree two weeks ago, but Mauro refused to 
merge my fix:

http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mkrufky/pending

patch viewable at:

http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mkrufky/pending?cmd=changeset;node=91fe5ce70b0b

I have become thoroughly frustrated in trying to explain to Mauro why 
the #ifdef test fails in the inst_foo section of the Makefile, so I've 
given up.  That tree will remain on linuxtv.org until he merges it or 
somebody else proposes an alternate fix.

I have moved on, and I'm working on fixing some things for the in-kernel 
build process.  Matthias says that the Makefile inclusion order is 
wrong... Matthias, please propose a patch to fix it.

In the meantime, you guys can do the following to pull a clean 
up-to-date tree containing this fix:

hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
cd v4l-dvb
hg pull -u http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mkrufky/pending
make
make install

I hope this helps,

P.S.:  C.Y.M.  -- How did you find my ~mkrufky/2.6.16/ quilt series?  I mentioned it in #v4l just a few hours before you posted your email, but I don't recall seeing you in the chat room?  just curious...  Anyhow, proper 2.6.16 compatability has been applied to v4l-dvb master.
