Guess I did ask for comments ;/

Basically klcc is currently too 'basic' in what flags it supports to
work with autotools scripts, etc.  I guess going my suggested way above
might be the backwards approach for
flags, etc.

But, includedir, libdir, etc might still be interesting to get - for
example I want to install the header and lib from device-mapper into
klibc's include/lib dirs for multi arch building on one machine, etc.
