What about people that try to compile Gnome2 1.00 against Gtk2 1.06?  It
isn't all that likely, but not impossible either.

Thinking about it, I don't really see why inheriting "-I build" is a bad
thing.  We could just document that, if you depend on Gtk2, "-I build"
is automatically added for you and you don't need to care about it --
and thereby give it official blessing.  You can still add it manually
since, as muppet pointed out, EU::D takes care of merging duplicates.
