You can fix that from your side - if you're so inclined - by including the 
omitted headers in an #if 0 block to enable the scanner to see them.

Currently a number of tests seems to be failing due to a missing 
config/user.hpp, so it's a real problem. But there's also something else 
that is wrong with the headers, as other tests seem to be using older header 
versions, and that doesn't seem to be caused by a missed dependency.
