Ok, so I did understand this right. So the include-path resolver is of
no use for files that are not part of the project. Except if the file
happens to have a Makefile right in the same dir that actually also will
compile that file. So "getting include paths for non-project files" is
not an argument for the resolver.

Yeah, I know. I was just asking wether you know of any problems that a
proper Makefile-parser would have with cmake-generated Makefiles.
