This is a bit tricky. One can already pass CFLAGS= to configure. But I
think the intention is that should override configure's automatic
selection of flags (I haven't tested that though). But usually, one
wants the package's configure have some say, and e.g., enable warnings
that are expected to be silent.

So I'd rather have something more general like APPEND_CFLAGS added after
CFLAGS to make it possible to override selected flags, and with some
consistency with other packages using autoconf.
