Unfortunately there are availability problems with libzfs.h and libnvpair.h.  On
FreeBSD they're not installed system-wide.  On OpenSolaris I can't see them
installed either (although in this one I'm probably missing something).

I'm all for switching to system-wide headers, and I completely agree with the
benefits.  If the problem is FreeBSD-specific, I'll report it to
FreeBSD developers
and switch as soon as it is feasible.

Note: part of <grub/util/libzfs.h> is GRUB-specific though (a
declaration for global
libzfs variable handle).
