Even better, write a wrapper script:
#!/bin/sh
exec configure CFLAGS=-O CXXFLAGS=-O
That, you can check into CVS (without getting into the whole
"should I revision-control generated files?" debate over your
config.status's :-).
If you always give each package's wrapper the same name,
"my-config [or whatever]; make; make install" will quickly become
a habit ... well, fairly quickly; the first couple of wasted
builds are a great inducement to learning :-)
