It was primarily in response to:

1. The Gtk reference to a single header.
2. The messages at the beginning of the thread proposing the indirect header 
router, which is no better.

I'm not saying that developers should be forced to know every include needed 
for a given header (e.g. QHostAddress has a QString in it so both should have 
to be included by whoever includes QHostAddress); but that the headers should 
be minimal in their inclusions - only what is necessary and nothing more.

That's all.
