But it's not. We can reasonably expect everyone who actually cares to
have local modifications to iw that they aren't publishing (and that I
wouldn't apply anyway since it'd be for vendor commands) - and they
need to build *that* iw, not "our" iw.

The fact that libwifihal more or less wants you to do vendor extensions
makes that all the more likely, since if you want to test those with iw
then you need a modified iw.
