Neither of these two is what I propose for the short term.

What I propose is to have fts.in.h being preprocessed into fts_.h.
So that
  - we follow the naming scheme *.in.h of other header files in gnulib,
  - packages like coreutils and findutils are not broken.

That would be an option for the future, but I don't think it is
urgent to debate today.
