Could we also look into trimming down the prefix?  In the original bug
report, we really didn't need to see the entire pathname on each line.

Maybe we could have cpp output file names relative to the place in the
#include search path they were found.  So with -I /work/src/gcc/gcc,
cc1 would see "integrate.c" instead of "/work/src/gcc/gcc/integrate.c".
This would also affect __FILE__.  It might cause problems with debug
info, anyone know what the issues there are?
