Yes, the previous one was pretty much the same words, but the one line
description is not an exact match.  I will come up with a more unique
subject.

Yep, me remembering in reviews.  Which I have.  :-)

I considered that with the very first version of dtx_diff.  At the time,
I expected changes to the include path to be very rare.  I still have
that expectation looking forward.

I considered having dtx_diff scrape the include paths out of Makefile.lib,
but that seemed fragile and kludgey.  I could create a shell script that
outputs the include paths,  Then Makefile.lib and dtx_diff could use
that script to get the include paths.

I am assuming the drop is because of the request to have a common
file for all tools to source for the include paths.  I'll re-spin
to implement that.
