It's not uncommon to use CFLAGS for macros or for '-I' flags.
I think it's easy to imagine other conflicting situation where the order of
used flags is significant.
It may not be uncommon, but it is a usage bug to use CFLAGS for
pre-processor options. Such usages should be corrected.
Becides cases where the pre-processor may be used directly (not sure
if there are any), it should be considered that CPPFLAGS works for
both the C and C++ compilers but CFLAGS is only for the C compiler.
Usage of CPPFLAGS before CFLAGS looks logical for me, I think autoconf should
be fixed.
It does feel more logical.
