No, it means that they want the ability to have something different when
they ask for it.
In one specific case here, I installed Mesa so that I could link some
OpenGL applications for use on remote Xterms. But, when using it locally,
I want the vendor version with hardware acceleration. By default, I get
Mesa includes in /usr/local/include/GL instead of vendor includes in
/usr/include/GL.
To undo this, I would have to null out the include path and reconstruct it
from scratch. If /usr/include were default, I could put things in front
of it with -I options.
