I think searching all the sub-directories (if any exist) might be a bit
overkill IMHO.  How about if an environment variable such as:

   INCLUDEPATH

was defined with say:

   C:\EUPHORIA\INCLUDE;C:\EUPHORIA\INCLUDE\MYSTUFF;C:\ANDY\INCLUDE

then any include statement that does not have a full path name is "looked
for" (ouch! bad grammar) in each of the directories listed by INCLUDEPATH
in left to right order.

So when developing you could have:

    C:\EUPHORIA\DEVINC;C:\EUPHORIA\INCLUDE

and when your happy with your development include files copy them to
C:\EUPHORIA\INCLUDE and reset INCLUDEPATH to just:

    C:\EUPHORIA\INCLUDE

If INCLUDEPATH is not defined then includes should work as they do now.

Just an idea ... borrowed from more than one C compiler :-]
