Given that the source and build directories are searched by the compiler
(due to the many "-I." flags), it boils down to a matter of style.

We write <stdbool.h> since <stdbool.h> is a standard header.

We write <getopt.h> since glibc and other systems have it.

Some people write <error.h> since glibc has it; some people write "error.h"
since only glibc has it.

You see, there's no clear borderline between <> and "".
