I've allways thought the rationale behind this was so that a compile with:

cc -o Xfoo xfoo.c

would work without any problems, because:

#include <X11/xlib.h> (or whatever)
and /usr/include being in the standard -I path..  It's a novel concept I
guess.. but it's a really annoying layout if you ask me.
