     If your compiler will precompile headers then perhaps that is a
wiser approach as then the compiler reads its internal data and does
not
have to lex and parse the headers, only im****t the preprocessed
infromation.   As long as the heades are not 'private' headers this
should accomplish the result without compromising static entities,
local entities or munging unnamed namespaces. But in general it is
a compiler specific issue if it will precompile headers or not,
