PSPP didn't ever use -I- or -isystem, so I don't see how this
change would affect us.  I don't know what a "virtual view path"
is, unless it's a VPATH (I didn't know that was what VPATH stands
for--is it?).

Did you use <> instead of "" for libpspp #includes for some
related reason?  I am a little puzzled by that choice.
