Having it there (explicitly) makes things more predictable,
as it'll look in /usr/local for *both* headers and libraries.

see http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/changeset/18978
(notorious to break are the "readline" and "iconv" libraries)

But maybe it should also be accompanied by a similar such explicit
-I/usr/local/include flag to CPPFLAGS, to make things "consistent".

GCC will look into /usr/local/include anyway (and /usr/include too),
but restating it again might make it more self-documenting ? Or not.
