I understand what you're saying, but I disagree with your proposal.  I
feel that adding options such as you propose is a very bad slippery
slope to go down, and much too complicated both to implement and to use.

Assigning values to CFLAGS is _MUCH_ simpler, more straightforward, and
flexible, IMO.
