The extensions denote what kind of processing is expected on them...

.in.c will be run through the C preprocessor to pick up #defines etc
.in will be run through a simple substitution for MODULE_PATHNAME

Looking at them, the .in step could easily be added to the C
preprocessor routine, removing one category of file right away.

However I think I will leave well-enough alone for now.
