The thing is, there is no ONE header directory. There are several
header directories, and it would be impractical to feed the directory
every time I switch from one module to another. The macro must find
the path automatically by doing some sort of "search & replace" on the
full pathname (e.g. */src/* -> */inc/*) . I'm sorry, but I'm really
bad at e-lisp, otherwise I would have changed your macro somehow to
make it work for me...
