[Bf-committers] New Developer Meeting minutes

[joe]

I'd rather not have to manually add headers.  IMHO it's evil, and was
a gigantic pain in the old scons files (it's *so* much easier to not
have to do this for source or header files).

Anyway, if glob works that's fine, so long as it's smart enough to
figure out which headers are used by which source files.
