I actually don't know the answer to that myself ... @dexonsmith and @EricWF, what are your thoughts on that? The current search won't find the system-installed libc++ headers on Darwin anyway though, where they're placed in the compiler's include directory rather than a system include directory.

All right. In that case I'll go ahead and commit this and make the `__config` change in a follow-up.
