I've wondered why so many projects do this. #include <foo.h> and
#include "foo.h" are definately handled different on Unix systems,
#especially by makedepends.
Reading the man page for cpp says (for example):
-MM [-MG]
Like `-M' but mention only the files included with
`#include "file"'. System header files included
with `#include <file>' are omitted.
Also see the '-I-' entry.
angle brackets are for 'system header' files. Any project header files
should be referenced by double quotes. Perhaps windows doesn't care,
but unix does.
jas.
