I brought the issue up because I noticed yet another user putting optimization flags in CFLAGS and having it do nothing. And I myself recall confusion attempting to set flags and having them be ignored. And the fact that it takes minutes to find out if your options were used is extremely frustrating. This is actually one point where the CMake GUI or curses interface is helpful. The default flags get plopped into the field and the user can edit as they see fit without needing to second-guess the system. Of course non-interactive configuration can't do this except to run the entire configure and copy out the default flags.
