I thought that it just looks at the path prefix and knows that /usr/include
is special.  It seems to used -nostdinc too.  I don't see how looking at
<...> could be right, since double-quoted includes are not wrong for
standard headers.  In practice, ``#include "tcpd.h"'' gives the same lack
of warnings as ``#include <tcpd.h>''.
