VMS applies the shortest unique prefix rule with commands and
switches. I think /inc would work too, but that's probably a bit too
short for comfort.

That's new. Older versions of the Dec C compiler didn't do that--the
bit before the / was considered either a logical name or ignored. So
you'd need a PARROT: logical to make it work. If the ./include scheme
is OK, we'll go with that and require folks to have reasonably modern
versions of Dec C. Given our rollout schedule, I don't consider that
excessive.
