Who exactly do you imagine being confused by a including macro and under
what circumstances do you expect this confusion to arise? A quick
glance at config.h will reveal what header is being included; any
compiler errors will be attributed directly to the correct place. The
only people who need to care about the configure machinery are those who
add window systems, and I hope these people would be familiar with autoconf.
I'd really prefer not to have another big list of window systems in the
source.
