There's always #include "../include/padi.h", etc. ...

When I use CFLAGS += -I. in my Makefile

You don't want to mess with etc/INSTALL anyway since it's different
between platforms and gets autogenerated by configure. You're right,
an explicit CFLAGS on the make command line overrides any assignment
inside the makefile. To wit:

$ cat Makefile
CFLAGS+=-I.
$ make x.o
cc -I.   -c x.c -o x.o
$ rm x.o
$ make x.o CFLAGS=-Ibip
cc -Ibip   -c x.c -o x.o

However, using += isn't any different here:

$ rm x.o
$ make x.o CFLAGS+=-Ibip
cc -Ibip   -c x.c -o x.o

Curiously, the override does not apply if one sets CFLAG as an
environment variable

$ rm x.o
$ CFLAGS=-Ibip make x.o             
cc -Ibip -I.   -c x.c -o x.o

I suppose we could just fix etc/INSTALL.in to use that technique.
Anyone have objections? On the other hand explicit relative paths in
#include "..." might be good enough already.
