I am sorry, but you can only do this for half of the cases.  The other
half imply time travel.  Or put another way, fixing an old OS to
conform to the wants of a new compiler, is hard.

Yes, this is closer, but bear in mind that gcc doesn't _want_ to tote
around every header for every OS.  Instead it totes around fixincludes
that can `generate on the fly' every header for every OS.

And we are now right back where we started.
