And another note (after looking at the Cc list):
Header cleanup is *not* something suitable as a first task for a janitor.
The interesting cases are non-trivial.
And you need cross compilers for all architectures since fiddling with
#include's under include/ breaks code left and right that only compiled
due to some implicit #include (and if it still works due to another
implicit #include on x86 the latter might not be present on all
architectures).
