I think it's much better to do the munging in configure.ac.  Store the
CFLAGS set by the user and/or AC_PROG_CC in AM_CFLAGS, and override
CFLAGS.  Depending upon whether the changed flags settings apply to only
a few, non-portability-problematic files in your project, the rest of
the configure tests should run with the flags set by the user, and you
should only override at the end, or the converse.

Much cleaner, involves much less changes.  If you have something that
works nicely and is reasonably generally useful, post a summary, or
even better, a FAQ addition to the manual.  ;-)

Cheers,
Ralf
