        Yes, in 2.x they already made that change.
        Everything's like this in 2.x:

#include <fltk/run.h>
#include <fltk/Window.h>
#include <fltk/Slider.h>
#include <fltk/draw.h>
#include <fltk/CheckButton.h>

        2.0 is a whole different animal.

        Maybe schedule the actual change to docs + progs for 1.4.x?

        I'd just hate to see 'too much' change in 1.3.x.

        I agree with Matt that 1.3.x should really get released RSN,
        as soon as all the bugs against it are fixed, so we can all
        have an official utf8 release, along with all the other cool
        features we've all been waiting for from 1.3.x.

        I believe not only all the docs, but also all the example
        programs and src/*.cxx and FL/*.H files would have to change
        their #include<>'s to all be 'consistent', as well as the
        Makefile dependencies.. a large diff for the code base.
        Not sure if this affects the windows project files.

        I would at least consider the time issue and potential for
        complications before making this large a change to 1.3.x
        so close to a release. It really yields little net effect,
        and I don't think anyone's really waiting for this change.

        It's true it won't affect existing programs, but I am
        concerned about too many changes to the code potentially
        delaying a release.
