Your case seems to be quite unusual. I'd guess that you could make the parameter configurable at runtime, in a config file. Perhaps like this: 1) get it from user config file 2) get it from system config file, installed with the package 3) get the hardwired default If the package would install a default config file, you'd almost never get to 3), so there is no need to make it settable by ./configure.
