Re: include files including other files.

	I personally think this is a good idea, but it has slightly
wider implications, at least on our system. We have a makefile which
controls making of the entire source on our system. Individual programs
are given dependancies largely based on include files, and these
dependancy lists are often generated automatically. If someone is
adding a new program to the makefile, they typically grep for "include"
to get the dependancies. If system include files included others, then
they would miss the other include files that were not directly included
in the program.
	I still think it's a good idea - I'm just pointing out one
implication of it. Are there others?
