OK, thanks, I applied those extra patches.  Simon, if you have an
objection to your part please let me know and I'll undo them.

My biggest worry wasn't confusion, but compilers that complain about
"#include_next" even in code that is ifdeffed out.  The C standard
says such programs are OK but I vaguely recall some compilers from
decades ago that complained about such things.  It most likely won't
happen in GNU/Linux compilers (since /usr/include/limits.h uses
#include_next) but if it happens on other hosts we can easily change
the strategy to work around the problem.
