(The problem is that this project has a string.h, which conflicts with

because some people prefer #include <blah> over #include "blah" for
their own header files as well?)

My guess: in short, -I. ensures uniformity between the "inplace builds"
(srcdir = builddir) and "VPATH builds" (srcdir != builddir).

It assures uniformity, even if it is uniformly incorrect.
