Got something a bit better.

Parrot Configure has had syntax for modifying settings without removing
them for a long time:

        :add{foo}
        :rem{foo}

Until now, it only worked when Configure prompted you interactively for
the settings; I've now changed it (applied to
Parrot--config/inter/progs.pl 1.12, lib/Parrot/Configure/Step.pm 1.14)
so that it works on most of the settings progs.pl handles, including all
the /..flags/ settings.

So to append to ccflags, you'd just do:

        perl Configure.pl --ccflags=":add{stuff to append}"

Will this suffice?
