Consider including external headers qualified with project directory names

[Swat-SomeBug]

Hello,
I'm trying to package OpenXLSX for build2 and cppget.org already has some external dependencies.
However, these external dependencies cannot be used as the source files include the headers directly.
Example:

//----- XLCellIterator.cpp ---
// ===== External Includes ===== //
#include <pugixml.hpp>

Would you consider qualifying the headers with the directory name for pugixml and zippy?
For example:

#include <pugixml.hpp> ------------> #include <pugixml/pugixml.hpp>

Could you elaborate?

I understand build2 is some kind of package manager - which I see has pugixml, but not zippy.

Changing zippy to a depency (as opposed to using the version shipped with OpenXLSX) is not an easy task, as the version in OpenXLSX is customized and probably deviates a lot from any other version.

The pugixml files in OpenXLSX are almost up-to-date with the master (https://github.com/zeux/pugixml) so that might be possible.

Do you want to use the master pugixml? Or do you want OpenXLSX to use it's own pugixml version in a way that it does not cause a conflict with [email protected]?

Could you provide a minimum example of what you need to change in OpenXLSX? Something that you have modified yourself and it works for build2, but with a minimum change in OpenXLSX folder structure?

If you can fork this project & modify what you need, I can have a look at it & discuss it with @troldal
