I thought the idea was to do this in such a way that the system
headers were used, though this requires sub-included headers to be
shadowed. I am doing this on Solaris, so the set of sub-included
headers is probably different than for LINUX.

I am happy to do the POSIX and XOPEN stuff (it'll just take a little
longer :(

My question remains, how do I submit them? I'd quite like to submit
the headers that deal exclusively with the C Standard stuff asap, so
that people can get a good chance to spot errors/omissions and test
it other platforms whilst I do the POSIX stuff.
