...other things:

...in configure.in, there is:

dnl i am not entirely sure, whether "-fPIC" is a good idea on ALL  
platforms
CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -fPIC"

AC_SUBST(CXXFLAGS)

AC_SUBST(AFLAGS)

AC_SUBST(CXXDEBUG_FLAGS)
AC_SUBST(CXXOPTIMIZE_FLAGS)

...if I read this right, it means that both debug and optimize flags  
are alway substituted?  If so, how are we supposed to do a debug-only  
build, with no optimizations?  Shouldn't we have a --debug flag for  
configure?

frustratedly puzzled,
