wrong! there's nothing wrong with doing that.  If it was something like
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS you were setting, that'd be different :)

One thing to note though, is that your reasoning is flawed when setting
CXXFLAGS to $CFLAGS.  CFLAGS wont be equal to "whatever" until after you hit
enter, so unless CFLAGS is already set in your env, CXXFLAGS will be null.  If
it is set in your env, CXXFLAGS will be whatever CFLAGS is in your env, not
"whatever".

Cheers
