Back in http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/1998-11/msg00379.html Zack
added a check to cpplib for whether a name given with -I was a
directory.  If it was not, cpplib would issue an error.  The old cccp
preprocessor would not issue an error for this case.  The error still
exists today.  I think it should be a warning rather than an error.  If
I write gcc -I include and happen to have a file named "include" rather
than a directory, I don't see any reason for the compilation to fail.

This patch changes it from an error to a warning.  It has been
bootstrapped and tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.

OK for mainline?

	* incpath.c (remove_duplicates): If name is not a directory, issue
	a warning rather than an error.

What happens in that case?  Do we still keep searching for a directory,
or do we stop after giving the warning?

I have no opinion; I just wonder if we ought to document whatever it is
we do.
