Actually, these are all good points. I hadn't even considered these yet, I
went straight into 'oh-goody-shell-scripting-time!' mode. Sorry for that ;-)

Having said that, I personally do think it might reduce the noise of the
cppcheck report if cppcheck could at least be told :

1.) In what directories the include files are located (Yes, if you have both
foo/foo.h and bar/foo.h this will cause issues, but might still be
preferable to what we have now).
2.) What are some likely defines, like for example: -DLINUX (Duh),
-D__LITTLE_ENDIAN__/-D__x86_64__ (characteristics of the test system
cppcheck is currently run on) -D__GNUC__ (expected, and not likely to cause
issues if set for code that does not have GNU C extensions), and
-UMACOSX/-UFREEBSD/-U_WIN32 (script currently does not run on MAC, FreeBSD,
or Windows).

Just my 2$.
