[Qemu-devel] Re: [PATCH 30/42] Rename CPPFLAGS to CFLAGS

But sdl-config and friends do not give out anything that the compiler 
cares about but not the preprocessor (such as weird -f or -m options).

Anyway...

... agreed, that's why I don't care if you call it CPPFLAGS or 
QEMU_CFLAGS or QEMU_CPPFLAGS.  I just want to preserve the distinction 
between flags the user may want to override (optimization, debugging), 
and flags the user should leave alone.
