Perhaps he should, specifically since the issue has been raised.
(Incidentally, $(abspath) achieves largely the same thing as prefixing
CURDIR.)
Anyway, the various suggestions are not mutually exclusive:
* Add -I- to allow the invoker to reset the search path. (This is what I
meant by a "switch analogous to -r/-R", in case I wasn't clear.)
* Add includelocal to allow an author to indicate when he definitely doesn't
want to use the search path for specific files. (He could use abspath/CURDIR,
but if the included files are also targets, those rules have to be changed
too.)
* Allow effective modifications to .INCLUDE_DIRS.
