Forgot to mention, but stating the obvious:
This changes the ABI (adding new members to public structs), so a 
recompilation of all users is sufficient to avoid problems. Hence, 
please bump IWINFO_ABI_VERSION once this is merged and the package gets 
updated.

While on that topic, the few remaining patches from PR#11280 are in the 
same boat. Can we get those merged too, pretty please?

Thanks,
Andre
