Perhaps we should at least build a plan for the steps we take to enable
this as the default.  Maybe we start by asking testers of the trunk to
configure '--with-fast-fixincludes'.  Once that has had sufficient air
time without problems we make it the default.  Then we proceed to remove
(or at least mark as deprecated) the old stuff.  There may be pitstops
along the way or other steps needed, but maybe a clear "TODO" list is in
order.

Let's just figure out how to get this out of limbo so it can start
helping users and developers.
