Comment (by dluke@…):

 Replying to [comment:7 cal@…]:
 >Of course I could remove `-I$prefix/include` from CPPFLAGS and
 `-L$prefix/lib` from LDFLAGS if they are found, but there might be users
 out there who did set those variables on purpose when building macports
 and might wonder why they're getting stripped.

 It's more likely that people are going to set that by mistake than
 purposely create a situation where their base build/install is dependent
 on something that it might uninstall.

 I would favor removing those flags (like we do for $PATH) just to prevent
 that dependency cycle. If someone really wants/needs it, they can go mess
 with autoconf ;-)
