Includefiles are not evil. Sure Delphi doesn't use them much, but that
doesn't mean there is something wrong with them when somewhat properly used.

Note that there have been discussions in the past that e.g. for release
purposes could be generated per platform that has the necessary includes
inlined. It is just the matter of finding sb to write the generator.
