myriexpress.h was added in 1.1 so we probably don't have a lot of users
so far.

What about hwloc/bits/config.h ? My understanding of
/usr/include/bits/foo.h is that it contains horrible details that real
people don't want to hear about :) Or hwloc/sys/config.h ?
I wonder if we should also move rename.h there too. Then we'd have:
hwloc.h = main header
hwloc/*.h = misc helpers and other APIs
hwloc/bits/*.h = don't look there, these are low-level details
Anyway, I vote for #3.
#4 doesn't look very hard, but might cause ugly maintenance problems in
the future.
