Can you re-state what benefit and effort you speak about?

Note aside, this show that this is a moot issue. For example, in
gcc3objc I provide a README.CSW which states:

         2. /usr/local/include or /opt/sfw/include are not part of the
            default include search path.

This is evidently valid.

I think that spending too much time on removing *all* references isn't
worth the effort.

P.S. you list isn't sorted which is a PITA.
