Funny idea, sorts out the dozens of crap makefiles easily (eg. written 
by those mindless jerks who refuse to learn not to use absolute pathes
or explicitly add standard includes).

#1: why not using the more standard and well-known $SYSROOT variable ? 

#2: why not just using the already existing '=' prefix ?

#3: WTH do you explicitly add an standard include path like
