Would there be a simple way to define a set of include dirs and make
that easily (i.e. with a single command) available on directory level?
The idea is that many users will have a default set of libraries they
usually want to have available. If saving them globally is a nuisance
(could you please elaborate a bit on this?) it would be still annoying
to add a whole set of include paths to any given project directory.
