Re: Can '--site-includes' and '--site-libs' be provided as conf options

I found the same problem when building for NetBSD, but forgot to bring
it up with Kurt. My solution was to run:
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include ./configure ...
but a --site-includedir and --site-libdir or somesuch would be welcome.
I think these would have to be cumulative to work reliably, but I'm a
bit vague about autoconf.
I also wonder if there is any mechanism to preload these options in a
site- or even host-specific manner. I generally forget the options I
used for a particular package by the time the next release comes along.
