I would prefer defparameter, to let user changes settings at runtime.

No strong preference. Ideally we should subsitute values from configure
at only one place, so the main difference would be how much quoting we
need. For simple values we can use configure substitutions (see
AC_CONFIG_FILES in configure.ac). For more complicated ones I would
probably prefer echo for configure (one level of quoting) to sed
(two levels: shell and sed).
One more remark: I think I prefer to keep parameters in a separate
file (sed can substitue values in file containing real code).
