Here goes nothing.

Description: Text Data

Note that IIUC, for non-system includes to work, either

- the filenames must be absolute, or
- the compiler must be given -I arguments through org-babel-C-compiler.

This variable can be set (e.g. to "gcc -I .") with file or
directory-local variables.  Should we promote this method in NEWS?  A
downside is that the user will be warned about the variable's value
being potentially unsafe, and we can't really avoid that unless we throw
a blanket :safe #'stringp on this defcustom.
