Comment (by vbraun):

 I think this ticket shows that there is a need for a better management of
 C(XX)FLAGS in Sage. Ideally via some shell script that is part of Sage, so
 that not every spkg has to reinvent the wheel. The whole approach of
 parsing the install of another spkg to recreate its CFLAGS is just wrong,
 and arguing how to make this bandaid less likely to break in the future is
 not particularly helpful.

 But now is not the time to create some CFLAGS framework. The spkg here
 seems to work pretty well, is better what we currently ship, is easy
 enough to read to see what it does, and is unlikely to be improved upon
 with some minor patches. So lets ship it!
