It seems that either the --with-stlport-include is a new configure option or
recently the configure script has been changed to append /include to
your --with-stlport path if you don't specify --with-stlport-include.
 If --with-stlport-include is a new option then it should be using
the --with-stlport path without modification unless it's explicitly
specified.  The default distribution of STLport doesn't even have/create an
include directory for the header files, it's STLport-4.0/stlport.  Also,
this change isn't documented in the INSTALL file (still says you just
need --with-stlport).

>From the INSTALL document:

      The "configure" script must be call with the "--with-stlport" and
      "--with-python" options.
      The option "--with-stlport" allow to override the default STL headers
      and the option "--with-python" tell to the configuration script, where
      to find the Python headers files.

It specifically states that the --with-stlport option points to the STL
header files so --with-stlport-include seems redundant.
 Either --with-stlport should be removed (so we're left
with --with-stlport-include and --with-stlport-lib)
or --with-stlport-include should be removed or at the very least /include
should not be appended to the --with-stlport option.
