Hmm I expected a few as well, but no replys - I better fix that at least.

I dislike this too, as you might of noticed already...

Having read lots of discussion and the large levels of apathy, I agree 
mostly.

However I disagree over the best method of implementing this.
Here I present (re-present) my solution

1. Ignore all -I which are targeting system directories.
2. if -fallow-header-override then ignore rule 1 but dont warn.
3. if -Wheader-override then give warning in both case 1 and 2.

After all that discussion, they did convince me that -I targeting system 
directories is 'a bad thing(tm)' however their approach to dealing with it 
is very much non-userfriendly.  I believe my solution fixes that.

Gareth - who would rather Nicholas's method rather than nothing however.
