But the current directory is not top_srcdir in all cases.
E.g. an include file in one directory might include another.
Why is it important to have the current directory in the path?

That's an environment variable? Are entries separated by ":"?
Must they be absolute path names?

What's the default?

I'd like to hear Akim's opinion, since he's the AC_INCLUDE guru.
My own reaction is positive, but I would suggest that you write up the
proposal, as a proposed patch to the manual. (Often the documentation
is the hardest to write, so perhaps it'll be easier for you if you
implement it and then document it. :-)
