I was actually thinking of just changing everybody to use
	-#include "builtin.h"
	+#include "builtin/cmd.h"

and I even did that with a sed script, but then the renames aren't pure renames any more, so I decided that in order to make the patch be a minimal rename thing, that would be a second phase.
