I've certainly never seen projects that allow you to arbitrarily rearrange 
the include file heirachy :-).  I can't imagine trying to do this with 
XFree86.

I don't believe I will; I didn't understand that the makedepend tool could
handle symbolic includes of any form; I went poking through the sources and
found some pleasant suprises.  It should handle your current form without 
complaint.

Is there a plan for a 2.0.2 release at some point?  I'm shipping 2.0.1 
with XFree86 and prefer to use labeled and tested releases instead of 
top-of-tree.
