I still feel that what is being proposed is very vague. Is it to deprecate all of these variables [1] (but still fully support them for at least one year!), and make them options to a ./configure script? http://sagemath.org/doc/installation/source.html#environment-variables And, merge that with the current prereq autoconf code? Is that the proposal?
No one has proposed anything un-vague yet. But yes, some of the environment variables would become ./configure options. Many of them would just go away though, since they manually tell the build process things that ./configure can determine on its own.
