There's worse in there already.

To do it properly, we'd need to look at
- c_includes (it already uses extra_libraries and extra_ld_opts),
- OPTIONS -#include's in the source file, and
- include files already specified in foreign import's
If this adds up to more than one include, we'd need to make a little
header file to include them all, and hack that into all the foreign
import's.  It seems the gap between the spec and what is comfortable
for authors to write necessitates ugly hacks here.  The last time I
complained about this, Alastair suggested a "foreign include" directive,
which might help.
