INCLUDES Is for the APPLICATION SPECIFIC includes.  Why would you want
to edit every Imakefile, when it is taken care of by TOP_INCLUDES ?  I
don't think this was one of the changes I made while installing R4 with
DESTDIR=/tmp/four (don't ask).  I didn't have to make many (any?)
changes for the programs I wanted, but I didn't remake programs that
were already in R3.  I did make some net stuff, though.  (TOP_INCLUDES
and INCLUDES are combined with STD_INCLUDES and some others).  (Getting
the config figured out is another matter).
