Actually, you don't want to do that. CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, and the like
are defined to be "user variables". That is, the user should be free
to do this:
make CFLAGS='my flags' ...
If your rewritten CFLAGS contained things necessary for your package,
this would break.
You can set private compiler flags using the `AM_' form of variables:
AM_CFLAGS, AM_CXXFLAGS, AM_CPPFLAGS, etc.
