I just thought I'd convert my nod when reading this thread into an
e-mail.

I think this is a great idea and will relieve a burden from the GDB
developer, not only by eliminating the need for updating the Makefile
for each added or removed #include, but (even more so) by eliminating a
number of conflicts when you have to maintain a patchset (like I'm doing
with the Python series, and Pedro is doing with the non-stop debugging
series). It also relieves a burden from the patch reviewer (has the
developer correctly updated the Makefile?).
