In reality it will likely be the above, and then a list of 

header-test-n += foo.h

For the header files that we for one or the other reason do not want to
make self-contained.
It would be nice to have the list of ignored files close to their home
and not a full list in one Makefile in include/

This part should include the logic to filter out duplicates too.
I think we may do something wrong if the same header is listed twice.

We could also extend this with a check that all files in header-test-n
exits.
