Yes, yes, yes. The syntax of how to invoke it was not the important
part. But something like CC_DEBUG would use simple variable
substitution, not complex (and unportable) `if' tests and substring
extractions. The CC_DEBUG approach might help avoid dependencies on
Gmake.
OTOH, one would need another option for install, and this approach
wouldn't be as general. But it would certainly be simpler. *shrug*
