And perhaps one should go read the commit message that introduced them...
it was an experiment, a sample test designed to only be used in -current
/usr/src/lib, that BDE, Sheldon and myself had long followon conversations
about, and got dropped into the cracks.

The name INC* is not clear as to be correct, per BDE it probably should be
HDR* or HDRS* (I specifically avoided that since existing Makefiles used
that, not knowing that BDE had seperately been eyeing HDRS* for what I
ended up calling INC*.)

Since, other commiters have ignored direct, and inderect requests not to
propogate this INC* experiment, and it now infects all the way back to
at least 3.x* and possibly 4.*, making it near impossible to clean up :-(.

So feel free to ignore this email and change src/include/Makefile any
way you wish...
