Hi Harald,

it seems that DEFAULT_INCLUDES is set deeply within
automake.pl to
DEFAULT_INCLUDES = -I. -I$(srcdir)
Only if not using the Automake option `nostdinc'.
What is the reasoning here?
It's a way to make it possible to treat headers living in `.' and
headers living in `$(srcdir)' equally.
(There may be more reasons I'm unaware of.)
Doesn't this undermine the difference between
#include myheader.h
and
#include myheader.h
?
If you have headers in the source or build tree that have the same names
as installed headers, but should _not_ be preferred over them, then yes,
you should use `nostdinc' to control this. But this is a situation you,
the developer, can have complete knowledge about.
Cheers,
Ralf
