One advantage of the -includeall method is that it includes the headers in
the correct order (in the dependency order). I have to go back and check
how important this really is, but as far as I remember this was a
necessary condition for generating the interface properly. But perhaps
it's simple to generate the list in the correct order.

The advantage with a generated header list is that it gives much more
control of what to include/exclude, so I agree that it's desirable.
