At release of 4.0, would it be reasonable to make "/usr/include" a variable
that can be easily changed (e.g.
	sh Configure INCLUDE=/usr/local/lib/gcc-include
or something like that ?)  Some of us prefer to leave the vendor's include
files alone, but hack the ones we actually use to get the behaviour we want :-)
Sometimes, it's the easiest way to "tune" Configure's behaviour :-)

While I'm here,  Larry: will you be including the (vast) amount of portability
wisdom added by the development of perl 3 into a new release of
metaconfig at any time ?

Thanks for your time...
