We could just agree that rumpmake picking things up from the env is 
silly since there's no way to negate parameters.  I don't really like 
buildrump.sh picking up random things from the env, so we could add a 
parameter like -F for something like -F CPPFLAGS=foo -F CFLAGS=bar, and 
those would be internally used by buildrump.sh when probing.

The whole subject is quite full of complex details and should be solved 
once and for all one of these days.  Is there any way you can move 
forward with a hack, e.g. hacking buildrump.sh to use BUILDRUMP_FOO 
internally?  Obviously that would be an unsupported/documented hack, but 
should work for the time being.
