Thanks for working on modernizing the volpack build system. I haven't

This is great!
Regarding makeopts.c and vpCompilerOptions, if I remember correctly volpack
exports this variable so that programs linking to volpack can print out the
compiler options as part of a verbose version message. It was useful since
the library can be built with specialized template-like code for different
data types and I often wanted to check which data types a particular build of
the library had included. It's not really necessary and certainly not very
conventional (e.g. running nm would have worked just as well).
Well, I think this is in general a good idea but I doubt that it would
work with the current code because there is not a single reference to
this variable in any file. Even if it would work - it's just undocumented
and thus not practically usable. If you are sure that ot works I'll
happyily will include this functionality. However, I think I would prefer
a makeopts.sh Shell script that generates tha very same C file but without
the need of compiling something because I found it troublesome to code
this into Makefile.am.
Kind regards
Andreas.
