GTK+ uses <gtk/gtk.h>. I don't think that it's any wronger than "SDL.h".

ODE already has a lot of headers with too common names:

collision.h, common.h, compatibility.h, contact.h, error.h, export.h, 
mass.h, matrix.h, memory.h, misc.h, objects.h, rotation.h, timer.h

They all would need to be renamed (maybe adding a "ode-" preffix).

But I agree with the fact that ODE shouldn't be including its config.h 
into the distribution. The magic macros should be moved into an 
"odeconfig.h" file, with different naming (adding an "ODE_" preffix to 
each), the way GTK+ does (like in lib/glib-2.0/include/glibconfig.h). I 
think it would require a special tool to write down this specialized 
header to work on all supported build environments.
