Maybe I have missed something in other posts, but I don't quite understand
the reason. You want to distinguish between system and local headers,
right?

We probably need another notation to ignore a header, for example
config.h. Or you mean that all unlisted headers are ignored?

The patch is Ok is you answer "yes" to both questions.

I guess all sys/*, mach/*, netinet/* headers should match.

Others, also checked with AC_CHECK_HEADERS.

Akim, you have my Ok for your future autoscan changes, provided that the
patches are published. I want that we finish doing any non-bug related
modification as soon as possible, but I don't want to discard what you
have already done.
