What is the include chain?

Is there a level we can break that nesting?  I've seen gd do a lot of
work to split up includes.h, and perhaps we can include one of these
directly where it's needed, so as to bring it back out of includes.h?

I'm pretty sure that it would be possible for waf build the IDL before
the configure test, but I'll defer to tridge on the exact details.  

Breaking up the includes.h is a goal anyway, so would be my preferred
solution.

It would be better to put pidl in the autogen.sh rather than checking it
in, but I think we can come up with better solutions than that.
