I'm OK with these changes and inclined to give my ack and commit all
three.

I did have one observation: it is rather odd that all the
autogenerated header files are each generated by the relevant
tools/libs/foo/Makefile, but the file is in tools/include/.

This is particularly odd given that tools/include/ has a Makefile of
its own which mostly does install stuff.

Can we at least have a comment in tools/include/Makefile saying that
it is forbidden to add rules which build include files here, and
suggesting to the reader which other Makefiles to read ?

Thanks,
Ian.
