@INC has no role to play w.r.t. to locating .h files (i.e., items in @INC
do not determine where h2ph looks for things; h2ph looks where your C
compiler expects to find things or where specifically tell it to look).

Try 'h2ph -r' or 'h2ph -a' (check out 'man h2ph' for explanation why).  In
short, there's no compelling reason NOT to just generate .ph files for
everything.  Having them won't hurt anything, but missing something
important by generating only specific ones can be.
