Actually, in my opinion the configure script should not do such a change 
to the CFLAGS. If the user breaks things because of his custom CFLAGS, he 
should know how to fix it by removing the offending CFLAG or by 
contributing patches to make the warnings/errors go away. Especially in 
this case, librapi builds fine with -Werror=format-security, so there's no 
need to remove it.
