specific proposal, I'd say it's not yet too late to move all headers

Interestingly, Windows has supported symlinks for quite some time
(Windows Vista),

I believe some form of symlinks was available since 2000 (junctions, or
how was it called), and in XP was quite usable already. But there's
difference between systems support and ecosystem support: would normal
copy operation in command line and GUI shells work with them? 3rd-party
shells? archivers and similar tools?

But, I agree, if we want to support Windows, we probably shouldn't use
symlinks.

Can this be handled by just adding the other path with a -I option?

D'oh, indeed, if we just move everything consistently under zephyr/,
without further restructurings or renamings, that will work! So,
there's a pretty good migration path, and maybe we should really
consider resolving the header namespacing issue.
