What about "make CFLAGS=" ?

Hm, the intention was to pick a set of defaults that could be
overridden. Is there a better way to accomplish this? ...I see now that
AM_CFLAGS is the opposite of overridable, giving a set of flags to add
in addition to user-specified CFLAGS. Of course, when I used CFLAGS by
itself, automake gave a warning and told me to use AM_CFLAGS instead :p

I'll look into the problem. If need be, I'll keep my personal CFLAGS
preferences separated to my own configure process.

Thanks Bruno!
