  I've hacked on inclhack.def, and although I didn't contact you first, I
will now contact you afterward....

  ... to ask if you'll review my patch, or at any rate just cast an 
experienced eye over the inclhack hunk in it.  I don't think there's likely
to be anything wrong with it but you might know of some syntax or
portability issue I should take care of.

  The first inclhack is supposed to detect a block of code that has a
comment at the start and end of it, and add a #ifdef-#else-#endif wrapper
around the original contents.  The second hack is supposed to replace a
#include line that uses quotes around the filename with an equivalent
that uses angle brackets (because it's a system file).  I wrote both of
these by basically modelling them along the lines of other hacks I found
that did similar jobs to what I wanted.
