| I think this might be a general quirk on OS X. I recall having to manually set
| the "-I/usr/local/include" flag for any compilations that need local libraries.

The quirk is that actually __breaks__ a lot of code on the Intertubes. I did
a sporadic check finding things the python hiredis binding and rsyslog
logging framework all of which can build with hireds --- and of which have 

        #include <hiredis/hiredis.h>

which the OS X install just broke. How lovely.

|     Ok, when I do 'make install' (or, in this case, make -n install) with
|     hiredis
|     I get (showing the relevant two out of maybe twelve lines)
| 
|     mkdir -p /usr/local/include/hiredis /usr/local/lib
|     cp -a hiredis.h async.h adapters /usr/local/include/hiredis
| 
|     which is congruent with hiredis' Makefile which has
| 
|     # Installation related variables and target
|     PREFIX?=/usr/local
|     INSTALL_INCLUDE_PATH= $(PREFIX)/include/hiredis
| 
|     So why does the directory   /usr/include/hiredis   get omitted on OS X?
