if two.idl includes three.idl using quotes, and the files are in the
same directory, and the preprocessor can find two.idl, then the
preprocessor should include the file three.idl. Using <>'s the directory
should be given to the preprocessor with -I

worse, the CORBA spec says that the preprocessing should be conform
c/c++ preprocessing... that seems broken right now
don't take me wrong, I'd like an intuitive behavior of include in IDL ->
include in C++ very much ;-)
