Well, it's good to know anyways. Now the altinity patch has had some
serious review and a minor flaw, which is probably trivial to fix,
has been found in it. Once it's fixed it can be resubmitted to Ethan
and this particular problem shouldn't bother users in the future.

Again, thanks for testing this. It was most valuable :)

The CPPFLAGS variable only works for altering preprocessor options,
and only if they're honored by the Makefile while creating the
various targets. When the binary is produced but has lost a path to
one of the libraries it's linked to, it won't do any good.

I'll see if I can amend the ndoutils Makefile with the few extra
lines required to make it honor CPPFLAGS.

Again, thanks.
