Ah yes, I remember having that problem during my attempt at testing
wave for the review.  Now that I understand, I think the tool you
mentioned earlier would be very useful.  The quick-and-dirty method
I used first compiled the file with -E and then I manually picked out
the system include files from the compiler's -E output and used that to
create a Makefile macro.  Not the best way ;)
