Without this patch, /usr/bin/time -l reports:

       95.08 real       598.29 user        32.62 sys
           103727104  maximum resident set size

With --include-headers-for-types, I get this:

       76.37 real       483.83 user        26.77 sys
            97107968  maximum resident set size

This is similar to your numbers.  And adding that option to the demo
script in your [1] gives consistent results for all xargs -n values,
so that option alone fixes the subtle bug you refer to above, right?

However, with the second part of this patch also applied (adding %.h
to FOUND_C_SOURCES), I get this:

       90.38 real       558.38 user        38.32 sys
           100073472  maximum resident set size

Is this still necessary?
