Exactly. And hacking around that with some USE flags for embedded just 
says, to me, that we can't make a decision: we'll enforce this "usable 
for compiling" thing most of the time, but not for them. So it's a rule 
of convenience.

I'm still failing to see how headers have anything to do with runtime 
issues -- it should be people's responsibility to ensure they have the 
necessary headers if they're compiling things that require them. And 
compiling means DEPEND.

Maybe for some people compiling is included in runtime, but I'm not one 
of them.

Thanks,
Donnie
