Thus far we only have one rule about header files, #include
<config.h>
must be first in all .c files. I'm wondering if it is time to introduce
some new rules
- All system headers must be grouped to preceed all local headers
- All system headers must be sorted within their group
- All local headers must be sorted within their group
This will require updating pretty much every single source and header
file in the tree. Of course it will need a new syntax check rule to
validate this too. Since fixing them is a serious amount of work,
I was wondering about people's opinions on this ?
The goal is just standardization to make code a little more readable.

I've recently been trying to find my way around the codebase for the
first time, +1 to this. In fact just this morning I was reading the
hacking guidelines trying to find this, because I expected it to be
there.
