Agreed, especially since autoconf supports site default values,
where maintainers can set configuration values to just about
anything as crazy as they like (including CFLAGS), without forcing
the craziness on users via configure.ac

Details and example onhttp://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Site-Defaults
