As I know nothing about Algol 68 or its implementations, my only real 
question is: will this work with any other Algol 68 compilers?

Note that the GNU coding standards say that if the program variable
is named GA68, then the corresponding -FLAGS variable should be named
GA68FLAGS (with CFLAGS, LFLAGS and YFLAGS being historical exceptions
to this rule).

Probably A68 and A68FLAGS make the most sense though (as if "G" is
for "GNU" we probably shouldn't be baking that into portable configure
scripts today).

Cheers,
  Nick
