Bad idea IMHO.

The goal of gr-modtool is to create modules that will be usable easily
by other GR users. If you start hardcoding stuff, then it will be
non-buildable by anyone except the exact person who created the
modules.


If custom options are needed, a better approach would be to have an
'option file' or cmake wrapper that would be created by macport (and
pybombs) that would automatically add the required options. something
like :

gr-cmake ..  instead of cmake alone.


Cheers,
