 Why /usr/include/g++ exists in the first place? To make it hard for C programs 
 to include C++ headers. A C++ compiler should have /usr/include/g++ in its 
 standard search path. Our standard C++ compiler do. So, this is pilot error ;-)

 This is very bogus for other reasons too, and I may explain them if somebody 
 want. So, I plan to back out these changes. Does someone object?

 (This might be a good idea though, but I don't think so now.)
