AFAICT, there's not a real problem here... Someone was just mentioning that
it isn't easy to override the configure defaults... they appear all OVER the
place. (every *.in file uses them)

The original problem was that the CPPSTDIN code I wrote for configure.in
doesn't detect the case where neither $(CPP) nor $(CPP) - work for cpp from
stdin... we have a possible fix (try /bin/cpp if both fail) which might go
in...

However, I still think that anyone who wants to override configure can
either modify config.cache or config.status... probably the latter in most
cases.
