I'm not in the make system, I'm using the downloadable SDK.  It seems 
that you have to specify all kinds of -I directories to get these header 
files to work properly...

in idl files, for example
#include "nsIURI.idl" requires -I /necko/idl -I /xpcom/idl

or in C++
#include "nsISupports.h" requires -I /nspr/include/ nsISupports.idl

Wouldn't it make much more sense for these files to be included 
"xpcom/include/nsISupports.h" and have this file include 
"nspr/include/nscore.h", that way you only have to specify one -I 
directory, the root of your SDK installation.
