The default when regcmp(1) is called by:

	regcmp file

is to put its output into "file.i", with the idea that "file.i" is #include'd
into your C source file.  Shouldn't this be "file.h", especially in light
of the fact that the .i suffix is used by "cc -P" for its output?  I use
"cc -P src.c", or I "cc -E src.c > src.i", so if I want to clean up some
things like *.o I also remove *.i.  Besides, I thought .h was always the
suffix for files to be #include'd.  Comments?
