mig stub headers: brain dump

[James Morrison]

 Hi,

  I looked into why Alfred cant' compile libtrivfs anymore.  So it seems that
libtrivfs/trivfs.h now includes mig stub header files.  Now, I have come across
a couple of problems with this. 

  1) mig creates the file trivfs*_S.h in build/libtrivfs.  libtrivfs/trivfs.h
     is looking for hurd/trivfs*_S.h.

  So, I tried a couple of things.
  1) Changed mig-sheader-prefix to ../hurd/trivfs_ and added 
     mig-sheader-prefix%_S.h as a dependency of $(library) in Makeconf before
     the dependency files are created so hurd/trivfs_*_S.h are all found 
     correctly for each .d file.
  
     This worked except for libshouldbeinlibc .

  So, what is a better solution.
  1) use mig-sheader-prefix ../hurd/*fs and have mig-sheader-prefix%_S.h as a
     dependency of $(library) in Makeconf, with an exception for libraries that
     don't use any mig stubs, eg libshouldbeinlibc.

  2) Don't put mig-sheader-prefix as a dependency of $(library) and have the
     mig-sheader-prefix%_S.h target create the files in place as in done now,
     but having a hurd directory in each libraries directory, eg
     build/libtrivfs/hurd/trivfs_*_S.h .

  3) Tell Dumbasses like me, that they should try 
    make prefix=`pwd` install-headers

 Do these make any sense?
