I remember now! My thinking was that if a file name was relative,
then it was relative to current working directory. A better assumption
is relative to the current file's directory. (It's been some years
since I grubbed around in that code.)

Anything you pick is going to have some grunge. Here's some uglitude for you:

and, of course, loose the "#include plugins/plugin_opts.def" line.
Alternatively, your make rule can:

They're both fighting hard for their hack level. I consider it a
design bug. It should have been treated like ``#include "foo.h"''
instead of ``#include <bar.h>''. I'm under day job pressure, so
it may be a little time. (If you're excited enough to take a gander,
tpLoad.c contains findFile(). Perhaps give it another argument like,
"referring file name" that can be used in some reasonable way. The
INCLUDE template macro would need to pass in a referring file also.)
What would the rules be? Obviously, a leading '/' implies a full
path. Also, a leading '$' implies an environment variable (or
program directory name for "$$/" prefix). Either of these disallow
directory search lists. Should "./" be special? e.g. only use the
referring file name or getcwd() if there is no referring file?

BTW, after adding a comment about you having the email problem,
I found this in my in basket. It looks like you got through and
got a bounce message to boot. Not real swift.
