The patch adds $(CFLAGS) during the *link*. (not during compile)

The linker doesn't need options such as "-O3" or "-I/path/to/include"
therefore I'd like to know the reasons why you believe this patch
would be useful.

Indeed it looks like a bug. I've fixed it in CVS.

Every downstream distribution has its own mechanism to mark the
files as "documentation".

Every downstream distribution has its own mechanism to handle the
config files. I don't know the opinion of the others, but I'm unsure
about a configure option that's useful for the FreeBSD port only.
