If include/g++ were installed in exec-prefix, or even in the
architecture-specific g++ directory, there would not be such problem.
Besides, it would allow one to have multiple versions of egcs'
libstdc++ installed, which is currently impossible, as one will
overwrite another.  With the expected include-files changes required
by the new template syntax, it might be quite annoying to have to keep
different directory trees just for the sake of preserving an old
version of g++.
