As I tried to explain, if emacs-module.h is not installed in its
intended place, we cannot know where it is installed.  We only know
that from the default installation locations we have in our Makefiles,
but if some distros modify that, we cannot know.

And I still contend that the correct installation should put this file
where all the other header files are, and then the compiler will
always find it.  Users who don't want to fight the uphill battle
against brew could simply copy the file to the compiler's include
directory, and be done.
