I don't think we want to do this.  I don't know of other packages that
fiddle with things this way.  It seems perfectly fine to pass the
appropriate CPPFLAGS and/or LDFLAGS when running configure.  In fact
that has the advantage of working with --includedir or --libdir as well.

I don't understand this last bit.  Who is the upstream?
