With an ugly Perl script, of course %-/

If our use of -I was sane, the mapping from #include's file to the
actual file would be straightforward.  It isn't, because we add
different -I for different parts of the code.  To spice up things, we
also name a few of our headers just like system headers we use
elsewhere, e.g. "util.h" in net/ vs. <util.h> in util/qemu-openpty.c.

My Perl script tries to match #include directives against source files,
and prints its findings.  The headers it can't map to source files must
either be generated headers or system headers.  The headers it can map
might be system headers anyway.

I'm afraid my script and its usage is too brittle to be of much use
later on.  I attach it anyway.
