Actually I should follow this up, while the above allowed me to resolve 
all of the system includes, Eclipse does not seem to be discovering the 
includes from entries like "include_directories(...)", can anyone 
confirm that their Eclipse is picking this up automatically?  And/or 
where I should see these entries in the Eclipse project properties?  I 
can certainly manually add them, but I'd prefer not to.

Thanks,
