What would a "dynamically set" include path mean to
the compiler?

Anyway, the erlang compiler just uses the provided
include paths, much like a C compiler. To modify the
include path I tend to use things like:

   erlc -I$(INC) mymod.erl

or

   compile:file("mymod.erl", [{i, "..."}])

Best,
Thomas
