        In something as mature as GNU Make, I don't feel all that
 comfortable  making changes to the include path, since it
  a) is a departure from Make everywhere else
  b) the path could (though unlikely) be used by something the user has
     installed already
  c) upstream might decide to use a different solution.

        Given that, I am going to just send this as a wishlist bug
 upstream, and see what happens
