The correct modification isn't in Makefile.in, it's in Configure.pl.
You'll want to change

        ccflags => $Config{ccflags}

to

        #ADD NEW C COMPILER FLAGS HERE
        #Just add any additional flags into the quote marks.
        #Leave any flags currently there as-is unless you're
        #replacing them with something better.
        ccflags => $Config{ccflags}." -I./include"

.  (I'm not giving a diff here because it seems that things have gotten
really out of whack with Configure and associated files--everyone seems
to have their own versions floating around.)  I also suggest we change
the line in Makefile.in that looks something like:

        C_FLAGS = ${ccflags}

to exactly

        #DO NOT ADD FLAGS HERE
        #Add them in Configure.pl--search for the comment "ADD NEW C COMPILER
FLAGS HERE"
        C_FLAGS = ${ccflags}

so people don't keep making the same mistakes.

# If not, I'd be happy to do it. It'll take just a few minutes...

I suggest you create the new directory structure in a tarball first, and
send it to myself and anyone else who's interested in this so we can
check it before you commit.  This is a large change in the layout; there
are a thousand subtle ways to mess up without noticing it immediately.
Many eyes make bugs shallow, right? :^)
