84 Return the first path for a C<$file_name> in the C<include>s.
86 We match exactly the behavior of GNU M4: first look in the current
87 directory (which includes the case of absolute file names), and then,
88 if the file name is not absolute, look in C<@include>.
90 If the file is flagged as optional (ends with C<?>), then return undef
91 if absent, otherwise exit with error.
