+1

Given that include "libfoo.h" should be local header and include <foo.h> should
be header from /usr/lib* I would be ok with either keep things as they are or
use the original Li's proposal.

For me personally is more useful to know whether header can be used in the old
API (i.e. "tst_" prefix means source is converted in the new C API) than whether
header is from extra library.

Kind regards,
Petr
