Or use this one-liner (CWD=the include directory in the source dist):

/lib/cpp -M -I. -I../backend executor/spi.h | \
xargs -n 1| \
grep \\W| \
grep -v ^/| \
grep -v spi.o | \
grep -v spi.h | \
sort
(There are better ways of doing the regexps, I know). I use this in the
RPM spec file to pull over the SPI headers, and have had to do so since
6.5.x days.

Bruce, can we add a TODO item for make install to install _all_
necessary headers, including SPI ones? It is not at all necessary to
have a source tree lying around to do SPI development (or at least it
_shouldn't_ be necessary). A full source tree, configured and built,
according to du, takes about 48MB of space (a pristine tree takes 36MB
or so in comparison). The complete set of headers takes a little less
than 1MB of space. (1MB of _headers_? Yow!)
