The problem with this include file is that it doesn't protect itself from multiple inclusion with a #ifndef, #define sequence, so I ended up getting re-definitions of ignore_value. So I pushed the #include into the .c files.
Well, let me know whether you agree and I'll push with the nits addressed.

... so goes the theory, 'yes'. We could define ignore_value in the same way as gnulib does and the problem with that include file would be gone.
