I'd be glad to assist you if I can, but, to be honest, when this next occurs,
probably in several months' time, and if it is me that first notices, I will
probably have forgotton who you were by then.

I can recommend the following method of checking whether a header file can
stand alone: try to compile it as if it were a C file. This is from my
"check-source.sh" script:
echo "Check that each header file includes what it needs."
for HEADER in subversion/include/*.h; do
gcc -DLINUX=2 -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -Wall
-Wundef -Wendif-labels -Wcast-qual -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs -g -Wmissing-declarations -pthread
-DNEON_ZLIB -DSVN_DEBUG -DAP_DEBUG -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -Wshadow
-I/usr/include/apache2 -I./subversion/include -I./subversion -I./neon/src
-I/usr/local/include/neon -I/home/julianfoad/build/subversion/apr/include
-I./apr/include -I/home/julianfoad/build/subversion/apr-util/include
-I./apr-util/include -o compiled-header.tmp -x c -c $HEADER
done
The option "-x c" is the one that tells GCC to treat the file as a C source
file despite its name.
