but, as i read the gcc man page, using

  #include "aeou.h"

will *always* search the current directory first, regardless of what
you add with "-I".  it's my understanding that additional directories
you supply with "-I" will be searched after the current dir, but
before the standard system dirs.

is that not correct?
