Do you see a flaw in my response to that Robert's email? I have said
that Robert's example will not be applicable to Squid sources: All
module files will include using the "module/file.h" pattern and not the
current "file.h" pattern. We are going to use -I src/ and never -I
src/module/.

I do not recall objections from Robert or others. Did I miss them? Are
there any problems with that approach?

Thanks,

Alex.
