On Windows, I believe the correct sentence would be "On Windows, they are in prefix/Lib and prefix/include".  Ned, how to complete "On macOS, they are in ?."

Victor, with recent file movement, is "while the platform independent header files (all except pyconfig.h) are stored in prefix/include" still true?  In what way is pyconfig.h exceptional?  Should 'include' be augmented with 'or its subdirectories'?
