Just tell the C compiler to look in the current directory for headers.

You need to have '-I.' in the C compiler options. If you are letting valac
drive the C compiler, than it would be '--Xcc=-I.'. If you are using
automake or similar, than it would be including '-I.' in the C flags
variable.

Note: There are actually cases, where using <> and including '.' in include
search path is prefered to using "". E.g. when you want to replace the
headers with mock version for unit testing or for build systems that use
repository.
