Many thanks for the responses, but there should have been more to my post than what I originally wrote, since this was an email draft I started a long time ago.

I think it would help encourage people to develop and release Make libraries that build on top of each other if the include search path could be trusted to include all necessary locations across different sites. It's fair to expect an environment variable would be maintained since people already do it for PATH, MANPATH, and such. Please consider this a feature request-- I originally posted on help-make because I wanted to make sure that this feature didn't already exist and I'd missed it in the manual.
