One has to be especially wary of removing system-header inclusions;
the fact that they don't seem to be needed on your own machine doesn't
prove they aren't needed elsewhere.

Yeah.  If we do anything along this line it should be based on
pgrminclude results, and even then I think it'd require manual
review, especially for changes in header files.

The big picture here is that removing #includes is seldom worth
the effort it takes :-(
