For trackeraddon.h at least, two versions are also present in the
BeOS R5 header tree. This is for backwards source compatibility
because Be decided to change the case of the file name at some
point. So it kinda makes sense that we also have two versions of
that file, since we are creating an open-source clone of BeOS R5.
