The problem is that to pick up a modulemap / swiftmodule file right now in Swift, we need "-I /path/to" where /path/to contains "module.modulemap" / "foo.swiftmodule"

Meanwhile passing "-I /path/to" also will pick up all header files in that directory, which here includes "time.h".

I personally think that behavior (the Swift compiler behavior) is wrong to couple these two ideas.  But arguing the compiler is wrong is probably above my pay grade.

Anyway, as long as this is the compiler behavior, we can't have "time.h" in the same directory as the modulemap.  So either

we put swiftmodule / modulemap in /usr/local/include/dispatch and headers into /usr/local/include/dispatch/headers
we put headers in /usr/local/include/dispatch and swiftmodule/modulemap into /usr/local/include/dispatch/module

I don't know which one to do, and I'm bad at wrestling autotools, so I'm not sure I can PR.

I'm working around by arbitrarily picking one of these resolutions and shell scripting it as part of my install.
