What about when a programmer is simply developing in the libutil
directory?

That seems like a circuitous and illogical way to achieve the goal,
though.
In my mind, it comes down to there being an ontological, rather than
mechanical, difference between system-wide include files <foo.h> and
local include files "foo.h"; from the point of view of other programs,
yes, libutil.h is a system-wide include file, but from the point of view
of libutil itself, libutil.h is local, and should be referenced as such.
