I could live with ".in.h".
However, I fear that if we depend on an "ok" from the Emacs maintainers,
then neither "..h" nor ".in.h" will fly. Currently, no file name
in emacs contains more than one ".".
In that case, it may be worthwhile to consider the ".hin" suffix,
since it has long been used in the context of autoconf, since
config.h.in isn't sufficiently portable to DOS 8.3.
The autoconf documentation mentions the name in suggesting this:
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([config.h:config.hin])
but that has the same problem as Paul's .eh: no automatic
editor support, at least not in emacs.
