Personally I wouldn't have a problem just requiring them to be listed
in a variable in Make-lang.in. If you add a new '#include
"gt-blah.h"', then you add a new line to Make-lang.in. (But then,
gcjx only has two gt-*.h files... so it is no big deal for me.)
Right now the Makefiles have things like this:
gt-java-hooks.h gt-java-langhooks.h : s-gtype ; @true
We could just replace this with:
$(all_gt_h_files) : s-gtype ; @true
... meaning that the only difference to the maintainer is where the
file gets listed.
