a question about fix-header.c

[Kenneth Zadeck]

Having just tortured danny berlin, the person who started me on this 
quest, I can now say "never mind".  He had pointed me to some code that 
is most likely unused but still lives in the gcc source directory that 
purportes to fix include files. 

I have now been told that there is a version of your project that lives 
either lives in or at least the output lives in some other part of the 
gcc directories.  I will start looking there and only bother you again 
if this turns out to also be wrong. 

Thankyou for your time. 

Sorry again.
