You're right. Upstream needs the local copy since many systems don't
have recent enough OpenCL headers, but for Debian I could add a patch
to remove the local copy and have a build-dependency on opencl-headers
instead.

OK, so how about if I do this from the .cpp files instead? e.g.

(in foo.cpp)
#include <CL/cl.h>
#undef vector
#undef bool
#undef pixel
