Obviously, some better place is needed.

You clean up one file and create another one. Still can't see it.

This will probably change with the advent of precompiled headers.  
Compiles are faster when including a big precompiled header than to let  
the complier fiddle with all those dependencies.

On all OS's I can check (Mac OS X 10.1.5, 10.3.6, IRIX 6.5.21), it's  
actually included somewhere in /usr/include/math.h. math.h is  
indirectly included in Foundation.h on OS X, so there are more  
potential incompatibilities.

How about including math.h at GNUstep's Foundation.h as well? Not  
proposing, just asking.



Cheers,
Markus
