There are always exceptions. A bunch of projects I am a developer on uses the MS Visual C++ compiler when building on Cygwin platforms. Would you be surprised to know that VC++ does *not* search Cygwins /usr/include for headers by default? :) Of course, I agree we should avoid including -[IL]/usr/{lib,include} flags in *-config output for platforms were that path is searched by default...
