For now, I just added the standard C headers of CoreFoundation.h to  
preface.h.in.

This makes the compilation a bit slower:

Base with new preface.h
real    0m48.585s
user    0m42.819s
sys     0m5.292s

Base with old preface.h
real    0m45.288s
user    0m39.858s
sys     0m4.944s

Gui with new preface.h
real    0m58.710s
user    0m51.835s
sys     0m6.368s

Gui with old preface.h
real    0m54.698s
user    0m48.687s
sys     0m5.776s

To keep the compilation time as it is, we can pass - 
DCF_EXCLUDE_CSTD_HEADERS in Base, Gui and Back and continue to include  
the C headers as we currently do it. We just need to include string.h  
in few more places if we do that.

For Gui, HUGE macro is 3.40282347e+38F in math.h and 1e7 in  
NSTextView.m. Since math.h is automatically included we now get a  
warning. Can we use the value from math.h or not? There is a comment  
stating the value should be changed carefully.

Cheers,
Quentin.
